(and we might already have a problem on some architectures where there can be significant time between these due to not having arch_irq_work_raise(), so ideally we ought to double check current in your case)I missed this bit -- just to verify: here we want to check that event->ctx->task == current, in case the the irq_work runs when the current task has already been replaced. Correct?Yeah, just not sure what a decent failure would be, silent ignore seems undesired, maybe WARN and archs that can trigger it get to fix it ?
I'll go with a WARN and add a comment. This also revealed there should be a requirement that sigtrap events must be associated with a task (syzkaller managed to trigger the warning for cpu events). Thanks, -- Marco
