It is possible for a netpoll file to be closed and for the pollDesc
to be reused while a netpoll is running. This normally only causes
spurious wakeups, but if there is an error on the old file then the
new file can be incorrectly marked as having an error.
Fix this problem on most systems by introducing an fd sequence field
and using that as a tag in a taggedPointer. The taggedPointer is
stored in epoll or kqueue or whatever is being used. If the taggedPointer
returned by the kernel has a tag that does not match the fd
sequence field, the notification is for a closed file, and we
can ignore it. We check the tag stored in the pollDesc, and we also
check the tag stored in the pollDesc.atomicInfo.
This approach does not work on 32-bit systems where the kernel
only provides a 32-bit field to hold a user value. On those systems
we continue to use the older method without the sequence protection.
This is not ideal, but it is not an issue on Linux because the kernel
provides a 64-bit field, and it is not an issue on Windows because
there are no poller errors on Windows. It is potentially an issue
on *BSD systems, but on those systems we already call fstat in newFile
in os/file_unix.go to avoid adding non-pollable files to kqueue.
So we currently don't know of any cases that will fail.
Fixes #59545
