Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull core kernel fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This is a complex task_work series from Oleg that fixes the bug that
this VFS commit tried to fix:
d35abdb28824 hold task_lock around checks in keyctl
but solves the problem without the lockup regression that d35abdb28824
introduced in v3.6.
This series came late in v3.6 and I did not feel confident about it so
late in the cycle. Might be worth backporting to -stable if it proves
itself upstream."
* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
task_work: Simplify the usage in ptrace_notify() and get_signal_to_deliver()
task_work: Revert "hold task_lock around checks in keyctl"
task_work: task_work_add() should not succeed after exit_task_work()
task_work: Make task_work_add() lockless
