and _cancel can be simplified a bit.

OK, I actually tested the code below, seems to work.

Peter, if you think it can work for you and if you agree with
the implementation I will be happy to send the patch.

The only change outside of task_work.c is that exit_task_work()
should call task_work_run() unconditionally.

As for cmp_xchg below... Of course it is not strictly needed.
But otoh, personally I'd like to have this helper (probably
renamed) somewhere in include/linux. Perhaps this is just me,
but cmpxchg() always confuses me, and most users only need
success_or_not from cmpxchg.

Oleg.

	__typeof__(_old) old = (_old);	\
