kernfs_notify() does two notifications: poll and fsnotify. Originally,
both notifications were done from scheduled work context and all that
kernfs_notify() did was schedule the work.
This patch simply moves the poll notification from the scheduled work
handler to kernfs_notify(). The fsnotify notification still needs to be
done from scheduled work context because it can sleep (it needs to lock
a mutex).
If the poll notification is time critical (the notified thread needs to
wake as quickly as possible), it's better to do it from kernfs_notify()
directly. One example is calling sysfs_notify_dirent() from a hardware
interrupt handler to wake up a thread and handle the interrupt in user
space.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
