+.SS Interaction with autosleep
+If the system is in
+.B autosleep
+mode via
+.I /sys/power/autosleep
+and an event happens which wakes the device from sleep, the device
+driver will keep the device awake only until that event is queued.
+To keep the device awake until the event has been processed,
+it is necessary to use the
+.BR epoll (7)
+.B EPOLLWAKEUP
+flag.
+
+When the
+.B EPOLLWAKEUP
+flag is set in the
+.B events
+field for a
+.IR "struct epoll_event" ,
+the system will be kept awake from the moment the event is queued,
+through the
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+call which returns the event until the subsequent
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+call.
+If the event should keep the system awake beyond that time,
+then a separate
+.I wake_lock
+should be taken before the second
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+call.
