A recent commit gated the core dumping task exit logic on current->flags
remaining consistent in terms of PF_{IO,USER}_WORKER at task exit time.
This exposed a problem with the io-wq handling of that, which explicitly
clears PF_IO_WORKER before calling do_exit().
The reasons for this manual clear of PF_IO_WORKER is historical, where
io-wq used to potentially trigger a sleep on exit. As the io-wq thread
is exiting, it should not participate any further accounting. But these
days we don't need to rely on current->flags anymore, so we can safely
remove the PF_IO_WORKER clearing.

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.
