I'm not familiar with the term "attentions" or "attention handling". 
Would "interrupt handling" or "async event handling" not be better to use in the
title and commit message to make things more unstandable to readers.

If you do want to use the term attentions in the commit message body, please
explain the term first. [I don't believe the term should be used in the commit
title, though]
