In the event that we add to ovflist, before commit339ddb53d3("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") we would be woken up by ep_scan_ready_list, and did no wakeup in ep_poll_callback. With that wakeup removed, if we add to ovflist here, we may never wake up. Rather than adding back the ep_scan_ready_list wakeup - which was resulting in unnecessary wakeups, trigger a wake-up in ep_poll_callback. We noticed that one of our workloads was missing wakeups starting with339ddb53d3and upon manual inspection, this wakeup seemed missing to me. With this patch added, we no longer see missing wakeups. I haven't yet tried to make a small reproducer, but the existing kselftests in filesystem/epoll passed for me with this patch.

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.
