Linus correctly points out that this is both unnecessary and generates much worse code on some archs as going from current to thread_info is actually backwards - and obviously just wasteful, since the thread_info is what we care about. Since io_uring only operates on current for these operations, just use test_thread_flag() instead. For io-wq, we can further simplify and use tracehook_notify_signal() to handle the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work and clear the flag. The latter isn't an actual bug right now, but it may very well be in the future if we place other work items under TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
