If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b5d3ae202fbfe055aa2a8ae8524531ee1dcab717 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 08:24:25 -0700 Subject: io_uring: handle TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME when checking for task_work From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit b5d3ae202fbfe055aa2a8ae8524531ee1dcab717 upstream. If TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is set, then we need to call resume_user_mode_work() for PF_IO_WORKER threads. They never return to usermode, hence never get a chance to process any items that are marked by this flag. Most notably this includes the final put of files, but also any throttling markers set by block cgroups.
