/*
 * wakeup_fd abstracts the concept of a file descriptor for the purpose of
 * waking up a thread in select()/poll()/epoll_wait()/etc.

 * The poll() family of system calls provide a way for a thread to block until
 * there is activity on one (or more) of a set of file descriptors. An
 * application may wish to wake up this thread to do non file related work. The
 * typical way to do this is to add a pipe to the set of file descriptors, then
 * write to the pipe to wake up the thread in poll().
 *
 * Linux has a lighter weight eventfd specifically designed for this purpose.
 * wakeup_fd abstracts the difference between the two.
 *
 * Setup:
 * 1. Before calling anything, call global_init() at least once.
 * 1. Call grpc_wakeup_fd_create() to get a wakeup_fd.
 * 2. Add the result of GRPC_WAKEUP_FD_FD to the set of monitored file
 *    descriptors for the poll() style API you are using. Monitor the file
 *    descriptor for readability.
 * 3. To tear down, call grpc_wakeup_fd_destroy(). This closes the underlying
 *    file descriptor.
 *
 * Usage:
 * 1. To wake up a polling thread, call grpc_wakeup_fd_wakeup() on a wakeup_fd
 *    it is monitoring.
 * 2. If the polling thread was awakened by a wakeup_fd event, call
 *    grpc_wakeup_fd_consume_wakeup() on it.
