+ * LOCKING:
+ * There are three level of locking required by epoll :
+ *
+ * 1) epmutex (mutex)
+ * 2) ep->mtx (mutex)
+ * 3) ep->lock (spinlock)
+ *
+ * The acquire order is the one listed above, from 1 to 3.
+ * We need a spinlock (ep->lock) because we manipulate objects
+ * from inside the poll callback, that might be triggered from
+ * a wake_up() that in turn might be called from IRQ context.
+ * So we can't sleep inside the poll callback and hence we need
+ * a spinlock. During the event transfer loop (from kernel to
+ * user space) we could end up sleeping due a copy_to_user(), so
+ * we need a lock that will allow us to sleep. This lock is a
+ * mutex (ep->mtx). It is acquired during the event transfer loop,
+ * during epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) and during eventpoll_release_file().
+ * Then we also need a global mutex to serialize eventpoll_release_file()
+ * and ep_free().
+ * This mutex is acquired by ep_free() during the epoll file
+ * cleanup path and it is also acquired by eventpoll_release_file()
+ * if a file has been pushed inside an epoll set and it is then
+ * close()d without a previous call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL).
+ * It is also acquired when inserting an epoll fd onto another epoll
+ * fd. We do this so that we walk the epoll tree and ensure that this
+ * insertion does not create a cycle of epoll file descriptors, which
+ * could lead to deadlock. We need a global mutex to prevent two
+ * simultaneous inserts (A into B and B into A) from racing and
+ * constructing a cycle without either insert observing that it is
+ * going to.
+ * It is necessary to acquire multiple "ep->mtx"es at once in the
+ * case when one epoll fd is added to another. In this case, we
+ * always acquire the locks in the order of nesting (i.e. after
+ * epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2), e1->mtx will always be acquired
+ * before e2->mtx). Since we disallow cycles of epoll file
+ * descriptors, this ensures that the mutexes are well-ordered. In
+ * order to communicate this nesting to lockdep, when walking a tree
+ * of epoll file descriptors, we use the current recursion depth as
+ * the lockdep subkey.
+ * It is possible to drop the "ep->mtx" and to use the global
+ * mutex "epmutex" (together with "ep->lock") to have it working,
+ * but having "ep->mtx" will make the interface more scalable.
+ * Events that require holding "epmutex" are very rare, while for
+ * normal operations the epoll private "ep->mtx" will guarantee
+ * a better scalability.
