      eventfd: provide a eventfd_signal_mask() helper · 03e02acd
      Jens Axboe authored
      
      This is identical to eventfd_signal(), but it allows the caller to pass
      in a mask to be used for the poll wakeup key. The use case is avoiding
      repeated multishot triggers if we have a dependency between eventfd and
      io_uring.
      
      If we setup an eventfd context and register that as the io_uring eventfd,
      and at the same time queue a multishot poll request for the eventfd
      context, then any CQE posted will repeatedly trigger the multishot request
      until it terminates when the CQ ring overflows.
      
      In preparation for io_uring detecting this circular dependency, add the
      mentioned helper so that io_uring can pass in EPOLL_URING as part of the
      poll wakeup key.
