Thanks!

Here is another version of my random text generator. It has to be more
detailed.
This patch solves a problem for a following case. We have a container (a
group of processes in pid and mount namespaces) with a fuse mount. An
init process exits and the kernel kills all process in its pid
namespace. There is a fuse daemon, which handle the fuse mount.
Currently the kernel kills this process and closes all its file
descriptors, but __fput() for them is postponed and they will be
called from a task_work. Then the kernel starts destroying the mount
namespace and the fuse mount, it sees that a control descriptor for
this mount is alive and sends a request to a fuse daemon:
$ cat /proc/4353/task/4355/stack

[<ffffffff8169273d>] int_signal+0x12/0x17
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
But we know that a fuse daemon is already dead and the control
descriptor isn't closed completely, because __fput() was postponed.
This patch calls task_work_run() before destroying namespaces to
complete closing all process files.
Now I have a question. Because rised questions look reasonable.
This sounds like a generic issue.
I.e. it's either solved in upstream likewise or otherwise. Or not solved at all.
I.e. what's the status of this issue in linux-next?
