Hi, Al.

I can not get output of command line on SH in latest linux kernel.
I bisected, I confirmed that this problem occurred by following commit.

switch fput to task_work_add

... and schedule_work() for interrupt/kernel_thread callers
(and yes, now it *is* OK to call from interrupt).

We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return
to userland (or exit). Note that for fput() from a kernel
thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but
sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before
you do anything else. There are two mechanisms for that -
a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit
__fput_sync(). Both should be used with care (as was the
case for fput() from kernel threads all along). See comments
in fs/file_table.c for details.

For example ,when I input 'ls', nothing is displayed.
However, it is outputted when 'Ctrl+C' is inputted.
I checked other CPUs, it is only SH that this problem occurs.

Paul, do you think about this?

Best regards,
Nobuhiro
