/*
 * This file implements the ae API using event ports, present on Solaris-based
 * systems since Solaris 10.  Using the event port interface, we associate file
 * descriptors with the port.  Each association also includes the set of poll(2)
 * events that the consumer is interested in (e.g., POLLIN and POLLOUT).
 *
 * There's one tricky piece to this implementation: when we return events via
 * aeApiPoll, the corresponding file descriptors become dissociated from the
 * port.  This is necessary because poll events are level-triggered, so if the
 * fd didn't become dissociated, it would immediately fire another event since
 * the underlying state hasn't changed yet.  We must reassociate the file
 * descriptor, but only after we know that our caller has actually read from it.
 * The ae API does not tell us exactly when that happens, but we do know that
 * it must happen by the time aeApiPoll is called again.  Our solution is to
 * keep track of the last fds returned by aeApiPoll and reassociate them next
 * time aeApiPoll is invoked.
 *
 * To summarize, in this module, each fd association is EITHER (a) represented
 * only via the in-kernel assocation OR (b) represented by pending_fds and
 * pending_masks.  (b) is only true for the last fds we returned from aeApiPoll,
 * and only until we enter aeApiPoll again (at which point we restore the
 * in-kernel association).
