Wait on multiple wait queues



Hi all,
I am just curious to understand how poll,epoll,select works. After going through kernel source code.This is
what I understand,Please correct me if I am wrong :
A task can be added to multiple wait queues and later a wake up on any of wait queue will wake up the task.This is done do_select function which first sets the task state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and then call each filp->poll function
which inturn calls poll_wait (which adds the task in a waitqueue )
