That's current, right?

Current takes a refcount on it's own task struct when allocating upid,
and releases it at some point when freeing upid, right?

What for? Comments are overrated, except for comments describing
the obvious in the wrong way.

If this ever comes back in some form, then I pretty please want the life
time rules of this documented properly. The current state is
unreviewable.

Once you are done debugging this complex function can you please turn it
into an unconditional clear_bit(...) at the call site?

would ? No. They must have been cleared already, anything else is a bug.

Might be better? Please provide coherent explanations why this is correct.

How is this safe? Reinitialization has to be serialized against other
usage. Again: Document the life time and serialization rules. Your
pr_debugs sprinkled all over the place are not a replacement for that.

Care to look at the type of the third argument of task_work_add()?

Yet another wrapper struct? What for?

So this creates a file descriptor for a vector which is already
allocated and then it calls do_uintr_register_vector() which allocates
the vector?
