Hi
I looked at scheduler code today briefly. now I'm afraid following code
have similar race.
if (task_contributes_to_load(p))
rq->nr_uninterruptible--;
Can't following schenario be happen?
CPU0 CPU1
--------------------------------------------------------
deactivate_task()
task->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE;
activate_task()
rq->nr_uninterruptible--;
schedule()
deactivate_task()
rq->nr_uninterruptible++;
Totally, nr_uninterruptible wasn't incremented.
I'm still not sure. I need to read more sched code.
