From 0ba9c9edcd152158a0e321a4c13ac1dfc571ff3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 19:41:50 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] io_uring: use TWA_SIGNAL for task_work uncondtionally 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 cases where the task can be waiting on other events in the kernel and need a bigger nudge to make forward progress. Or the task could be in the kernel and running, but on its way to blocking. This means that TWA_RESUME cannot reliably be used to ensure we make progress. Use TWA_SIGNAL unconditionally.
