Remove broken task->state references and let wake_up_process() DTRT.
The anti-pattern in these patches breaks the ordering of ->state vs
COND as described in the comment near set_current_state() and can lead
to missed wakeups:
(OoO load, observes RUNNING)<-.
for (;;) { |
t->state = UNINTERRUPTIBLE; |
smp_mb(); ,-----> | (observes !COND)
| /
if (COND) ---------' | COND = 1;
break; `- if (t->state != RUNNING)
wake_up_process(t); // not done
schedule(); // forever waiting
}
t->state = TASK_RUNNING;

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
