I need clarify what does happen with the io_uring situation. If
somehow, TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL wasn't cleared, I would get all the time a 0
byte size core dump because do_coredump() does check if the dump is
interrupted before writing a single byte.
io_uring is quite a strange animal. AFAIK, the common pattern to use a
wait_queue is to insert a task into it and then put that task to sleep
until the waited event occur.
io_uring place tasks into wait queues and then let the the task return
to user space to do some other stuff (like core dumping). I would guess
that it is the main reason for it using the task_work feature.
So the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL does get set WHILE the core dump is written.
