(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).
