Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Revert "task_work: remove fifo ordering guarantee"
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2015 19:14:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150908171452.GA14599@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150908171433.GA14573@redhat.com>

This reverts commit c82199061009d1561e31e17fca5e47a87cb7ff4c.

Now that fput() can't abuse ->task_works list, we can restore the FIFO
ordering. Yes, currently there are no in-kernel users which need this,
but I think task_work_add() will have more users and FIFO makes more
sense if (unlike fput/mntput) the callbacks change the task's state.
