Hi,

Can we queue up a backport of:

commit 4c6e277c4cc4a6b3b2b9c66a7b014787ae757cc1 Author: Jens Axboe axboe@kernel.dk Date: Wed Jul 1 11:29:10 2020 -0600

io_uring: abstract out task work running

for 5.7 and 5.8 stable? It fixes a reported issue from Dave Chinner, since the abstraction also ensures that we always set the current task state appropriately before running task work.

I've attached both a 5.8 and 5.7 port of the patch.

Queued up, thanks!

Thanks Sasha!
