Motivation: If a task was submitted when wakenUp value was 1, the task didn't get a chance to produce wakeup event. So we need to check task queue again before calling epoll_wait. If we don't, the task might be pended until epoll_wait was timed out. It might be pended until idle timeout if IdleStateHandler existed in pipeline. Modifications: Execute epoll_wait in a non-blocking manner if there's a task submitted when wakenUp value was 1. Result: Every tasks in EpollEventLoop will not be pended.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
