Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe: "One fix in here, for a regression in 5.7 where a task is waiting in the kernel for a condition, but that condition won't become true until task_work is run. And the task_work can't be run exactly because the task is waiting in the kernel, so we'll never make any progress. One example of that is registering an eventfd and queueing io_uring work, and then the task goes and waits in eventfd read with the expectation that it'll get woken (and read an event) when the io_uring request completes. The io_uring request is finished through task_work, which won't get run while the task is looping in eventfd read" * tag 'io_uring-5.8-2020-07-01' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: io_uring: use signal based task_work running task_work: teach task_work_add() to do signal_wake_up()
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.
