worker->cur_work is currently protected by the lock of the wqe that the worker belongs to. When we send a signal to a worker, we need a stable view of ->cur_work, so we need to hold that lock. But this doesn't work so well, since we have the opposite order potentially on queueing work. If POLL_ADD is used with a signalfd, then io_poll_wake() is called with the signal lock, and that sometimes needs to insert work items. Add a specific worker lock that protects the current work item. Then we can guarantee that the task we're sending a signal is currently processing the exact work we think it is. Reported-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
