Re: [RFC PATCH for-next 3/4] epoll: struct epoll support

[Jonathan Corbet]

So I was just looking things over quickly, and something jumped out at
me.  In ep_control():

> +	} else if (!(*io) && epi) {
> +		/* delete this eventpoll entry */
> +		if (is_file_epoll(target)) {

How could that possibly work?  I can't imagine tep->mtx is going to
react well to being locked a second time...
