* @notify: how to notify the targeted task

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

- * it will interrupt the targeted task and run the task_work. @TWA_RESUME
- * work is run only when the task exits the kernel and returns to user mode,
- * or before entering guest mode. Fails if the @task is exiting/exited and thus
- * it can't process this @work. Otherwise @work->func() will be called when the
- * @task goes through one of the aforementioned transitions, or exits.

+ * @TWA_SIGNAL works like signals, in that the it will interrupt the targeted
+ * task and run the task_work, regardless of whether the task is currently
+ * running in the kernel or userspace.
+ * @TWA_SIGNAL_NO_IPI works like @TWA_SIGNAL, except it doesn't send a
+ * reschedule IPI to force the targeted task to reschedule and run task_work.
+ * This can be advantageous if there's no strict requirement that the
+ * task_work be run as soon as possible, just whenever the task enters the
+ * kernel anyway.
+ * @TWA_RESUME work is run only when the task exits the kernel and returns to
+ * user mode, or before entering guest mode.

* If the targeted task is exiting, then an error is returned and the work item
* is not queued. It's up to the caller to arrange for an alternative mechanism
