Jens Axboe 6ef2b4728a task_work: unconditionally run task_work from get_signal() 
[ Upstream commit 35d0b389f3 ]

Song reported a boot regression in a kvm image with 5.11-rc, and bisected
it down to the below patch. Debugging this issue, turns out that the boot
stalled when a task is waiting on a pipe being released. As we no longer
run task_work from get_signal() unless it's queued with TWA_SIGNAL, the
task goes idle without running the task_work. This prevents ->release()
from being called on the pipe, which another boot task is waiting on.

For now, re-instate the unconditional task_work run from get_signal().
For 5.12, we'll collapse TWA_RESUME and TWA_SIGNAL, as it no longer
makes sense to have a distinction between the two. This will turn
task_work notification into a simple boolean, whether to notify or not.

Fixes: 98b89b649f ("signal: kill JOBCTL_TASK_WORK")

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.
