An earlier commit:

b7db41c9e03b ("io_uring: fix regression with always ignoring signals in io_cqring_wait()")

ensured that we didn't get stuck waiting for eventfd reads when it's
registered with the io_uring ring for event notification, but that didn't
cover the general case of waiting on eventfd and having that dependency
between io_uring and eventfd.

Ensure that we use signaled notification for anything related to eventfd.

Is the idea here that you want "polling an eventfd" to have different
UAPI semantics compared to e.g. "polling a pipe"? Or is there
something in-kernel that makes eventfds special?

I looked more at this after sending it out, and I actually think we want
the logic to be something ala:

else if (ctx->cq_ev_fd || (tsk->state != TASK_RUNNING))
        notify = TWA_SIGNAL;

instead, or something like that. Basically if the task is currently
waiting in the kernel, then the wakeup logic isn't enough, while
TWA_SIGNAL will do the right thing.

Looking into if we have a better way to tell if that's the case outside
of checking the targeted task state (and even if TASK_RUNNING is the
right one, vs checking if it's TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE/TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
specifically).
