From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: epoll: simplify signal handling Check signals before locking ep->lock, and immediately return -EINTR if there is any signal pending. This saves a few loads, stores, and branches from the hot path and simplifies the loop structure for follow up patches.
