13  *
14  * Queue @work for task_work_run() below and notify the @task if @notify

16  * it will interrupt the targeted task and run the task_work. @TWA_RESUME
17  * work is run only when the task exits the kernel and returns to user mode,
18  * or before entering guest mode. Fails if the @task is exiting/exited and thus
19  * it can't process this @work. Otherwise @work->func() will be called when the
20  * @task goes through one of the aforementioned transitions, or exits.
21  *
22  * If the targeted task is exiting, then an error is returned and the work item
23  * is not queued. It's up to the caller to arrange for an alternative mechanism
24  * in that case.
25  *
26  * Note: there is no ordering guarantee on works queued here. The task_work
27  * list is LIFO.
28  *

30  * 0 if succeeds or -ESRCH.
