fput: task_work_add() can fail if the caller has passed exit_task_work()
fput() assumes that it can't be called after exit_task_work() but this is not true, for example free_ipc_ns()->shm_destroy() can do this. In this case fput() silently leaks the file. Change it to fallback to delayed_fput_work if task_work_add() fails. The patch looks complicated but it is not, it changes the code from if (PF_KTHREAD) { schedule_work(...); return; } task_work_add(...) to if (!PF_KTHREAD) { if (!task_work_add(...)) return; /* fallback */ } schedule_work(...); As for shm_destroy() in particular, we could make another fix but I think this change makes sense anyway. There could be another similar user, it is not safe to assume that task_work_add() can't fail.
