Christoph is not a fan of proliferating the use of task_work_add(). Can we go with exporting task_work_add()
Not a fan != NAK. If we can't think of anything better we'll have to do that. Note that I also have a task_work_add API cleanup pending that makes it a lot less ugly.
for this release cycle? Or instead can we go with providing release() callback without disk->open_mutex held ( https://lkml.kernel.org/r/08d703d1-8b32-ec9b-2b50-54b8376d3d40@i-love.sakura.ne.jp ) ?
This one OTOH is a hard NAK as this is an API that will just cause a lot of problems.
