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.

It's quite possible that we got woken up because task_work was queued,
and we need to process this task_work to generate the events waited for.
If we return to the wait loop without running task_work, we'll end up
adding the task to the waitqueue again, only to call
io_cqring_wait_schedule() again which will run the task_work. This is
less efficient than it could be, as it requires adding to the cq_wait
queue again. It also triggers the wakeup path for completions as
cq_wait is now non-empty with the task itself, and it'll require another
lock grab and deletion to remove ourselves from the waitqueue.
