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.

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.
