From: Heiher <r...@hev.cc>
Take the case where we have:
t0
| (ew)
e0
| (et)
e1
| (lt)
s0
t0: thread 0
e0: epoll fd 0
e1: epoll fd 1
s0: socket fd 0
ew: epoll_wait
et: edge-trigger
lt: level-trigger
We remove unnecessary wakeups to prevent the nested epoll that working in edge-
triggered mode to waking up continuously.
Test code:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int sfd[2];
int efd[2];
struct epoll_event e;
if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sfd) < 0)
goto out;
efd[0] = epoll_create(1);
if (efd[0] < 0)
goto out;
efd[1] = epoll_create(1);
if (efd[1] < 0)
goto out;
e.events = EPOLLIN;
if (epoll_ctl(efd[1], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, sfd[0], &e) < 0)
goto out;
e.events = EPOLLIN | EPOLLET;
if (epoll_ctl(efd[0], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd[1], &e) < 0)
goto out;
if (write(sfd[1], "w", 1) != 1)
goto out;
if (epoll_wait(efd[0], &e, 1, 0) != 1)
goto out;
if (epoll_wait(efd[0], &e, 1, 0) != 0)
goto out;
close(efd[0]);
close(efd[1]);
close(sfd[0]);
close(sfd[1]);
return 0;
out:
return -1;
}
