49 /** Linux scheduler using epoll for I/O multiplexing.
50
51 This scheduler implements the scheduler interface using Linux epoll
52 for efficient I/O event notification. It uses a single reactor model
53 where one thread runs epoll_wait while other threads
54 wait on a condition variable for handler work. This design provides:
55
56 - Handler parallelism: N posted handlers can execute on N threads
57 - No thundering herd: condition_variable wakes exactly one thread
58 - IOCP parity: Behavior matches Windows I/O completion port semantics
59
60 When threads call run(), they first try to execute queued handlers.
61 If the queue is empty and no reactor is running, one thread becomes
62 the reactor and runs epoll_wait. Other threads wait on a condition
63 variable until handlers are available.

66 All public member functions are thread-safe.
