[PATCH v2 2/3] epoll: ep->wq can be woken up unlocked in certain cases

From: Roman Penyaev
Date: Mon Feb 10 2020 - 04:42:28 EST


Now ep->lock is responsible for wqueue serialization, thus if ep->lock
is taken on write path, wake_up_locked() can be invoked.

Though, read path is different. Since concurrent cpus can enter the
wake up function it needs to be internally serialized, thus wake_up()
variant is used which implies internal spin lock.
