Patch series "fs/epoll: restore user-visible behavior upon event ready". This series tries to address a change in user visible behavior, reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208943. Epoll does not report an event to all the threads running epoll_wait() on the same epoll descriptor. Unsurprisingly, this was bisected back to 339ddb53d373 (fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll), which has had various problems in the past, beyond only nested epoll usage. This patch (of 2): This incorporates the testcase originally reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208943 Which ensures an event is reported to all threads blocked on the same epoll descriptor, otherwise only a single thread will receive the wakeup once the event become ready.

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.
