Subject: [PATCH 1/5] fs: gate final fput task_work on PF_NO_TASKWORK
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2025 13:24:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
Rather than hardwire this to kernel threads, add a task flag that tells
us whether the task in question runs task_work or not. At fork time,
this flag is set for kernel threads. This is in preparation for allowing
kernel threads to signal that they will run deferred task_work.
No functional changes in this patch.
