Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: ensure task_work gets run as part of cancelations If we successfully cancel a work item but that work item needs to be
processed through task_work, then we can be sleeping uninterruptibly
in io_uring_cancel_generic() and never process it. Hence we don't
make forward progress and we end up with an uninterruptible sleep
warning. While in there, correct a comment that should be IFF, not IIF.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: io_uring: garantiza que task_work se ejecute como parte de las cancelaciones. Si cancelamos con éxito un elemento de trabajo pero ese elemento de trabajo debe procesarse a través de task_work, entonces podemos estar durmiendo ininterrumpidamente en io_uring_cancel_generic() y nunca procesarlo. Por lo tanto, no avanzamos y terminamos con un aviso de sueño ininterrumpido. Mientras esté allí, corrija un comentario que debería ser IFF, no IIF.
