Roman Penyaev 8e709bbe41 epoll: fix possible lost wakeup on epoll_ctl() path 
commit 1b53734bd0 upstream.

This fixes possible lost wakeup introduced by commit a218cc4914.
Originally modifications to ep->wq were serialized by ep->wq.lock, but
in commit a218cc4914 ("epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce
ep_poll_callback() contention") a 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 modifications of ep ready list, thus wake up can be lost.

And yes, can be healed by explicit smp_mb():

  list_add_tail(&epi->rdlink, &ep->rdllist);
  smp_mb();
  if (waitqueue_active(&ep->wq))
	wake_up(&ep->wp);

But let's make it simple, thus 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: a218cc4914 ("epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce ep_poll_callback() contention")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
