[ Upstream commit ef1ea98c8fffe227e5319215d84a53fa2a4bcebc ]
__schedule() // disable irqs <NMI> task_work_add(current, work, TWA_NMI_CURRENT); </NMI> // current = next; // enable irqs <IRQ> task_work_set_notify_irq() test_and_set_tsk_thread_flag(current, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME); // wrong task! </IRQ> // original task skips task work on its next return to user (or exit!)
