It is not clear to me if you agree or not. So I am simply sending the
patches I have.

Feel free to ignore or re-do.

Seriously, why should we add 2 pointers into task_struct? Sure, this
is minor, but still... But perhaps task_work.c should not play tricks
with the circular list, task_work_run() can reverse the list as you
initially suggested.

Also, I am not sure about "define rcu_head callback_head", this series
doesn't do this. But again, up to you.

Oleg.
