No upstream commit exists: the problem addressed here is that
'commit 75309018a24d ("s390: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL")'
was backported to 5.10. This commit is broken, but nobody noticed
upstream, since shortly after s390 converted to generic entry with
'commit 56e62a737028 ("s390: convert to generic entry")', which
implicitly fixed the problem outlined below.
Thread flag is set to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL for io_uring work. The io work
user or syscall calls do_signal when either one of the TIF_SIGPENDING or
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL flag is set. However, do_signal does consider only
TIF_SIGPENDING signal and ignores TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL condition. This
means get_signal is never invoked for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and hence the
flag is not cleared, which results in an endless do_signal loop.
