sched: Unbreak wakeups
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; Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210611082838.160855222@infradead.org
