[PATCH 2/2] io_uring: use TWA_SIGNAL for task_work if the task isn't running

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



An earlier commit:

b7db41c9e03b ("io_uring: fix regression with always ignoring signals in io_cqring_wait()")

ensured that we didn't get stuck waiting for eventfd reads when it's
registered with the io_uring ring for event notification, but we still
have a gap where the task can be waiting on other events in the kernel
and need a bigger nudge to make forward progress.

Ensure that we use signaled notifications for a task that isn't currently
running, to be certain the work is seen and processed immediately.
