 * (The objects themselves are stack-allocated.)
 * Waking potentially-blocked threads when a file descriptor is closed is O(n) in the total number
 * of blocked threads (not the number of threads actually blocked on the file descriptor in
 * question). For now at least, this seems like a good compromise for Android.
