Jens Axboe 03e02acda8 eventfd: provide a eventfd_signal_mask() helper
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
