/**
 * This Linux implementation of the WatchService interface works without
 * the use of threads or asynchronous I/O, using Linux' inotify file system
 * event facitily.
 * The implementation hinges around select() to wait for events on the
 * inotify file descriptor that each LinuxPathWatchService. Each time
 * a WatchKey is registered (through Path.register(), which eventually calls
 * register() on the LinuxPathWatchService), inotify_add_watch() is called
 * on the service's inotify file descriptor.

 * To wait for events, the take() and poll() methods use select() to
 * wait for the inotify FD to become readable. 

 * However, a lot of things can happen while a thread is waiting inside
 * poll() or take() with select():
 * 
 * the close() method can be called: The expectation is that calls blocked
 * in take() or poll() will throw a ClosedWatchServiceException() more or less
 * immediately after close() returns.
 * Another thread also calls poll() or take(), but maybe with a timeout
 * value that would make it terminate earlier than the first thread. This
 * thread may not be blocked by the first thread
 * poll() and take() are expected to only retreive one event, but read()
 * call on an inotify file descriptor can return multiple events at once; there
 * is no reliable way only retrieve one event. As a consequence, the reading
 * thread needs to ensure that other waiting threads receive the remaining
 * events
 * 
 * 
 * With these requirements in mind (and with the desire not to create a separate
 * monitoring thread per WatchService like on Windows), the solution was to
 * perform management on the inotify descriptor with the threads that call
 * into poll()/take() on a first comes first served basis:

 * The first thread calling into pollImpl() (called from poll()/take()) becomes
 * the master thread. It is the only thread at any given time that services
 * the inotify file descriptor by calling select() and read(). The thread
 * looses it's master thread status when it is done with calling select()
 * and read().

 * All other threads that call into pollImpl() simply call wait(). When the
 * master thread is done, it calls notify() to wake up the next thread, which
 * might then become the master thread.
 * 
Also note that select() waits on two file descriptors: Because select() does
 * not return when a file descriptor closes while it is waiting for it
 * (for reasons that elude me), a command pipe is used which receives commands
 * from other threads.
 * This is how close() is implemented: Instead of closing the inotify file descriptor
 * directly, it writes a command byte into the command pipe. If there is a
 * master thread, it wakes up, consumes the command byte and executes the
 * command (which is to close the inotify FD). If there is no master thread,
 * the thread calling close() closes the inotify file descriptor.

 * All this is necessary because a thread calling select() can't be interrupted,
 * and select() does not return when one of it's file descriptors is closed
 * while it is waiting for it
