Subject[PATCH 0/3] task_work: restore fifo ordering guarantee
OK, nobody replied, I will spam you again. Modulo some cosmetic changes
this is the same patch, now with the changelog and I tried to test it.

Eric, Al, Linus, I will appreciate any comment. I still disagree with
the recent c82199061009 "task_work: remove fifo ordering guarantee".

I am not very sure about 2/3, so it comes as a separate change.

I used this trivial test-case

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
int nfork = atoi(argv[1]);
int nopen = atoi(argv[2]);

while (nfork--) {
if (fork()) {
wait(NULL);
continue;
}

while (nopen--)
assert(open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) >= 0);
break;
}

return 0;
}

to test the performance, and I see the same numbers with or without this
series. Well, actually the numbers look a little bit better when I do
"time ./o 10 1000000", but most probably this is just a noise.

Please review.

Oleg.
