[...snip...]

Of course! but please forget about io_uring even if currently io_uring/
is the only user of TWA_SIGNAL.

Just suppose that the exiting task/thread races with task_workd_add(TWA_SIGNAL),
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL won't be cleared.

This is fine in that the exiting task T will do exit_task_work() and after that
task_work_add(T) can't succeed with or without TWA_SIGNAL. So it can't miss the
pending work.

But I think we can forget about TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. To me, the problem is that
the state of signal_pending() of the exiting task was never clearly defined, and
I can't even recall how many times I mentioned this in the previous discussions.
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL doesn't add more confusion, imo.

Oleg.
