[ Upstream commit ce593a6c480a22acba08795be313c0c6d49dd35d ]
Since 5.7, we've been using task_work to trigger async running of
requests in the context of the original task. This generally works
great, but there's a case where if the task is currently blocked
in the kernel waiting on a condition to become true, it won't process
task_work. Even though the task is woken, it just checks whatever
condition it's waiting on, and goes back to sleep if it's still false.
This is a problem if that very condition only becomes true when that
task_work is run. An example of that is the task registering an eventfd
with io_uring, and it's now blocked waiting on an eventfd read. That
read could depend on a completion event, and that completion event
won't get trigged until task_work has been run.
Use the TWA_SIGNAL notification for task_work, so that we ensure that
the task always runs the work when queued.
