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.
