Only when calling the poll syscall the first time can user
receive POLLPRI correctly. After that, user always fails to
acquire the event signal.
Reproduce case:
1. Get the monitor code in Documentation/accounting/psi.txt
2. Run it, and wait for the event triggered.
3. Kill and restart the process.
If the user doesn't kill the monitor process, it seems the
poll_work works fine. After killing and restarting the monitor,
the poll_work in kernel will never run again due to the wrong
value of poll_scheduled. Therefore, we should reset the value
as group_init() does after the last trigger is destroyed.
[PATCH V2]
In the patch v2, I put the atomic_set(&group->poll_scheduled, 0);
into the right place.
Here I quoted from Johannes as the best explaination:
"The question is why we can end up with poll_scheduled = 1 but the work
not running (which would reset it to 0). And the answer is because the
scheduling side sees group->poll_kworker under RCU protection and then
schedules it, but here we cancel the work and destroy the worker. The
cancel needs to pair with resetting the poll_scheduled flag."
