[RFC PATCH 07/15] epoll: extend epitem struct with new members for polling from userspace

From: Roman Penyaev
Date: Wed Jan 09 2019 - 11:41:53 EST


->bit
every epitem has an element inside user item array, this bit is
actually an index position of that user item array and also a
bit inside ep->items_bm

->ready_events
received events in the period when descriptor can't be polled
from userspace and ep->rdllist is used for keeping list of
ready items

->work
work for offloading polling from task context if epfd is polled
from userspace but driver does not provide pollflags on wakeup
