+ * LOCKING:
+ * There are three level of locking required by epoll :
+ *
+ * 1) epsem (semaphore)
+ * 2) ep->sem (rw_semaphore)
+ * 3) ep->lock (rw_lock)
+ *
+ * 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
+ * read-write semaphore (ep->sem). It is acquired on read during
+ * the event transfer loop and in write during epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
+ * and during eventpoll_release(). Then we also need a global
+ * semaphore to serialize eventpoll_release() and ep_free().
+ * This semaphore is acquired by ep_free() during the epoll file
+ * cleanup path and it is also acquired by eventpoll_release()
+ * if a file has been pushed inside an epoll set and it is then
+ * close()d without a previous call toepoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL).
+ * It is possible to drop the "ep->sem" and to use the global
+ * semaphore "epsem" (together with "ep->lock") to have it working,
+ * but having "ep->sem" will make the interface more scalable.
+ * Events that require holding "epsem" are very rare, while for
+ * normal operations the epoll private "ep->sem" will guarantee
+ * a greater scalability.
