commit7fab29e356upstream. Commit339ddb53d3("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") changed the userspace visible behavior of exclusive waiters blocked on a common epoll descriptor upon a single event becoming ready. Previously, all tasks doing epoll_wait would awake, and now only one is awoken, potentially causing missed wakeups on applications that rely on this behavior, such as Apache Qpid. While the aforementioned commit aims at having only a wakeup single path in ep_poll_callback (with the exceptions of epoll_ctl cases), we need to restore the wakeup in what was the old ep_scan_ready_list() such that the next thread can be awoken, in a cascading style, after the waker's corresponding ep_send_events().

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.
