Merge tag 'task_work-2021-01-19' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull task_work fix from Jens Axboe:
 "The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL change inadvertently removed the unconditional
  task_work run we had in get_signal().

  This caused a regression for some setups, since we're relying on eg
  ____fput() being run to close and release, for example, a pipe and
  wake the other end.

  For 5.11, I prefer the simple solution of just reinstating the
  unconditional run, even if it conceptually doesn't make much sense -
  if you need that kind of guarantee, you should be using TWA_SIGNAL
  instead of TWA_NOTIFY. But it's the trivial fix for 5.11, and would
  ensure that other potential gotchas/assumptions for task_work don't
  regress for 5.11.

  We're looking into further simplifying the task_work notifications for
  5.12 which would resolve that too"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
