If we're unlucky with timing, we could be running task_work after having dropped the memory context in the sq thread. Since dropping the context requires a runnable task state, we cannot reliably drop it as part of our check-for-work loop in io_sq_thread(). Instead, abstract out the mm acquire for the sq thread into a helper, and call it from the async task work handler. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.7 Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
