No, I can't reproduce any of that.  But I don't have a Fedora system
either, so this might be a new systemd version doing funky things.

The major change in this version was to call ->poll_mask before setting up
the wait queue as well.  This does the right thing for poll and aio poll,
but the more I dig into the epoll code the less sure I am it does the right
thing for it, or in fact that epoll does the right thing in general..

Do you still see it with the patch below applied?

diff --git a/fs/select.c b/fs/select.c
