What I am working on is a new call that can be seen as a list of epoll_ctl operations followed by an wait, which has enriched clockid and timespec flexibility. it will reuse existing calls' implementation, but that ideally should be independent to most of the implementation internals, including locking changes here. Thanks for letting me know! Fam
