Subject: [PATCH 1/3] epoll: fix possible lost wakeup on epoll_ctl() path
Date:   Mon,  3 Feb 2020 21:59:05 +0100

This fixes possible lost wakeup introduced by the a218cc491420.
Originally modifications to ep->wq were serialized by ep->wq.lock,
but in the a218cc491420 new rw lock was introduced in order to
relax fd event path, i.e. callers of ep_poll_callback() function.

After the change ep_modify and ep_insert (both are called on
epoll_ctl() path) were switched to ep->lock, but ep_poll
(epoll_wait) was using ep->wq.lock on wqueue list modification.

The bug doesn't lead to any wqueue list corruptions, because wake up
path and list modifications were serialized by ep->wq.lock
internally, but actual waitqueue_active() check prior wake_up()
call can be reordered with modification of ep ready list, thus
wake up can be lost.

Current patch replaces ep->wq.lock with the ep->lock for wqueue
modifications, thus wake up path always observes activeness of
the wqueue correcty.

Fixes: a218cc491420 ("epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce ep_poll_callback() contention")
