    sched/core: Introduce set_special_state() · b5bf9a90
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    Gaurav reported a perceived problem with TASK_PARKED, which turned out
    to be a broken wait-loop pattern in __kthread_parkme(), but the
    reported issue can (and does) in fact happen for states that do not do
    condition based sleeps.
    
    When the 'current->state = TASK_RUNNING' store of a previous
    (concurrent) try_to_wake_up() collides with the setting of a 'special'
    sleep state, we can loose the sleep state.
    
    Normal condition based wait-loops are immune to this problem, but for
    sleep states that are not condition based are subject to this problem.
    
    There already is a fix for TASK_DEAD. Abstract that and also apply it
    to TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED, both of which are also without
    condition based wait-loop.
