eventfd: guard wake_up in eventfd fs calls as well
[ Upstream commit 9f0deaa12d832f488500a5afe9b912e9b3cfc432 ]
Guard wakeups that the user can trigger, and that may end up triggering a
call back into eventfd_signal. This is in addition to the current approach
that only guards in eventfd_signal.
Rename in_eventfd_signal -> in_eventfd at the same time to reflect this.
Without this there would be a deadlock in the following code using libaio:
int main()
{
struct io_context *ctx = NULL;
struct iocb iocb;
struct iocb *iocbs[] = { &iocb };
int evfd;
uint64_t val = 1;
evfd = eventfd(0, EFD_CLOEXEC);
assert(!io_setup(2, &ctx));
io_prep_poll(&iocb, evfd, POLLIN);
io_set_eventfd(&iocb, evfd);
assert(1 == io_submit(ctx, 1, iocbs));
write(evfd, &val, 8);
}
