The patch titled
Subject: epoll: unify awaking of wakeup source on ep_poll_callback() path
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
epoll-unify-awaking-of-wakeup-source-on-ep_poll_callback-path.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: epoll: unify awaking of wakeup source on ep_poll_callback() path
Original comment "Activate ep->ws since epi->ws may get deactivated at any
time" indeed sounds loud, but it is incorrect, because the path where we
check epi->ws is a path where insert to ovflist happens, i.e.
ep_scan_ready_list() has taken ep->mtx and waits for this callback to
finish, thus ep_modify() (which unregisters wakeup source) waits for
ep_scan_ready_list().
Here in this patch I simply call ep_pm_stay_awake_rcu(), which is a bit
extra for this path (indirectly protected by main ep->mtx, so even rcu is
not needed), but I do not want to create another naked
__ep_pm_stay_awake() variant only for this particular case, so rcu variant
is just better for all the cases.
