Denys, I am not even going to actuallu read this patch, but I think
you should redo it in any case... And you need to cc maintainers.

Because I believe we should cleanup fs/eventpoll.c first, I'll try
to send the patch(es) soon.

You do not need it. But the reason is not clear until the cleanup.

sigprocmask() should not be used. Again, we need cleanup.
