Jens Axboe 36c2f9223e io-wq: ensure we have a stable view of ->cur_work for cancellations
worker->cur_work is currently protected by the lock of the wqe that the
worker belongs to. When we send a signal to a worker, we need a stable
view of ->cur_work, so we need to hold that lock. But this doesn't work
so well, since we have the opposite order potentially on queueing work.
If POLL_ADD is used with a signalfd, then io_poll_wake() is called with
the signal lock, and that sometimes needs to insert work items.

Add a specific worker lock that protects the current work item. Then we
can guarantee that the task we're sending a signal is currently
processing the exact work we think it is.

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.
