What else should it do? It cannot handle EINTR in a reasonable way
- there is no fix thread-to-connection relation, 
- there are several threads that can wait,  and  there are 2  different
"waits" (one on epoll or similar,  another one on condition, and this wait
is not interrupted with EINTR)
- The thread that can be interrupted by epoll_wait is not predefined, and
can change its role to be a "worker" thread, and then wait on condition.
