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 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.
