I don't think we should blame io_uring even if so far it is the only user
of TWA_SIGNAL.
Perhaps we should change do_freezer_trap() somehow, not sure... It assumes
that TIF_SIGPENDING is the only reason to not sleep in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE,
today this is not true.

Well, but can't we kill the same code at the start of get_signal() then?
Of course, in this case get_signal() should check signal_pending(), not
task_sigpending().
Or perhaps something like the patch below makes more sense? I dunno...
Oleg.
