The important condition that we need to check after enabling the interrupt for signaling is whether the request completed in the process (and so we missed that interrupt). A large cost in enabling the signaling (rather than waiters) is in waking up the auxiliary signaling thread, but we only need to do so to catch that missed interrupt. If we know we didn't miss any interrupts (because we didn't arm the interrupt) then we can skip waking the auxiliary thread.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
