Hmm, I wouldn't either, I think I got ->on_cpu and ->on_rq confused. Let
me try again.
So since we never call schedule() the p->on_rq thing will always be
true. This means we don't need to consider all the icky ttwu after that,
it also means the whole thing is inside ->pi_lock.
So we only have to consider the exact case Yasunori-San illustrated, and
waiting on ->pi_lock is sufficient.
However I think your proposal:
> for (;;) {
> tsk->state = TASK_DEAD;

should equally work, if we hit the race and call schedule() with ->state
= TASK_RUNNING, we'll simply loop and try again observing the TASK_DEAD
on the second+ go.
Now I prefer your solution since it doesn't add anything to the exit
path.
