No upstream commit exists: the problem addressed here is that 'commit
75309018a24d ("s390: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL")' was backported
to 5.10. This commit is broken, but nobody noticed upstream, since
shortly after s390 converted to generic entry with 'commit 56e62a737028
("s390: convert to generic entry")', which implicitly fixed the problem
outlined below.
Thread flag is set to TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL for io_uring work. The io work
user or syscall calls do_signal when either one of the TIF_SIGPENDING or
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL flag is set. However, do_signal does consider only
TIF_SIGPENDING signal and ignores TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL condition. This
means get_signal is never invoked for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and hence the
flag is not cleared, which results in an endless do_signal loop.
