Take the case where we have:

        t0
         | (ew)
        e0
         | (et)
        e1
         | (lt)
        s0

t0: thread 0
e0: epoll fd 0
e1: epoll fd 1
s0: socket fd 0
ew: epoll_wait
et: edge-trigger
lt: level-trigger

We remove unnecessary wakeups to prevent the nested epoll that working in edge-
triggered mode to waking up continuously.

Test code:
 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <sys/epoll.h>
 #include <sys/socket.h>

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {
 	int sfd[2];
 	int efd[2];
 	struct epoll_event e;

 	if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sfd) < 0)
 		goto out;

 	efd[0] = epoll_create(1);
 	if (efd[0] < 0)
 		goto out;

 	efd[1] = epoll_create(1);
 	if (efd[1] < 0)
 		goto out;

 	e.events = EPOLLIN;
 	if (epoll_ctl(efd[1], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, sfd[0], &e) < 0)
 		goto out;

 	e.events = EPOLLIN | EPOLLET;
 	if (epoll_ctl(efd[0], EPOLL_CTL_ADD, efd[1], &e) < 0)
 		goto out;

 	if (write(sfd[1], "w", 1) != 1)
 		goto out;

 	if (epoll_wait(efd[0], &e, 1, 0) != 1)
 		goto out;

 	if (epoll_wait(efd[0], &e, 1, 0) != 0)
 		goto out;

 	close(efd[0]);
 	close(efd[1]);
 	close(sfd[0]);
 	close(sfd[1]);

 	return 0;

 out:
 	return -1;
 }

This looks good to me.  Heiher, mind to make kselftest out of your test 
suite?
