Merge tag 'io_uring-5.8-2020-07-01' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "One fix in here, for a regression in 5.7 where a task is waiting in
  the kernel for a condition, but that condition won't become true until
  task_work is run. And the task_work can't be run exactly because the
  task is waiting in the kernel, so we'll never make any progress.

  One example of that is registering an eventfd and queueing io_uring
  work, and then the task goes and waits in eventfd read with the
  expectation that it'll get woken (and read an event) when the io_uring
  request completes. The io_uring request is finished through task_work,
  which won't get run while the task is looping in eventfd read"

  io_uring: use signal based task_work running
