------------------------------------------------------ From: Khazhismel Kumykov khazhy@google.com Subject: eventpoll: fix missing wakeup for ovflist in ep_poll_callback
In the event that we add to ovflist, before 339ddb53d373 we would be woken up by ep_scan_ready_list, and did no wakeup in ep_poll_callback. With that wakeup removed, if we add to ovflist here, we may never wake up. Rather than adding back the ep_scan_ready_list wakeup - which was resulting in unnecessary wakeups, trigger a wake-up in ep_poll_callback.
We noticed that one of our workloads was missing wakeups starting with 339ddb53d373 and upon manual inspection, this wakeup seemed missing to me. With this patch added, we no longer see missing wakeups. I haven't yet tried to make a small reproducer, but the existing kselftests in filesystem/epoll passed for me with this patch.
