Summary

The eventfd_signal() function is the equivalent to a write to an eventfd file descriptor: it bumps the internal counter and wakes up processes waiting for it.

eventfd_signal() is meant to be used by kernel drivers. DRM drivers will call it through linuxkpi.

This is a requirement to the following patch to drm-kmod:
