Revision 87c1696655787895689618c8b63c5efe66b8f2ab authored by Jens Axboe on 21 September 2021, 14:24:57 UTC, committed by Jens Axboe on 24 September 2021, 16:24:34 UTC
Dave reports that a coredumping workload gets stuck in 5.15-rc2, and
identified the culprit in the Fixes line below. The problem is that
relying solely on fatal_signal_pending() to gate whether to exit or not
fails miserably if a process gets eg SIGILL sent. Don't exclusively
rely on fatal signals, also check if the thread group is exiting.

Fixes: 15e20db2e0ce ("io-wq: only exit on fatal signals")
