Never hit the same queue, to avoid loops like: > > epoll_ctl(efd2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd1, ...); > epoll_ctl(efd3, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd2, ...); > epoll_ctl(efd4, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd3, ...); > epoll_ctl(efd1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd4, ...); > > The code "if (tncur->wq == wq || ..." prevents re-entering the same > queue/lock. Since the epoll code is very careful to not nest same instance locks allow the recursion.
