This test case catches lost wake up introduced by commit 339ddb53d3
("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll")
The test is simple: we have 10 threads and 10 event fds. Each thread
can harvest only 1 event. 1 producer fires all 10 events at once and
waits that all 10 events will be observed by 10 threads.
In case of lost wakeup epoll_wait() will timeout and 0 will be returned.
Test case catches two sort of problems: forgotten wakeup on event, which
hits the ->ovflist list, this problem was fixed by:
5a2513239750 ("eventpoll: fix missing wakeup for ovflist in ep_poll_callback")
the other problem is when several sequential events hit the same waiting
thread, thus other waiters get no wakeups. Problem is fixed in the
following 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.
