Use helper function to access current->state.
Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy.

Hello Sergei,
Peter suggested to use __set_current_state() for TASK_RUNNING :

It depends on which state; setting yourself TASK_RUNNING is free of
wakeup races -- you're already running after all, so it can safely use
__set_current_state().
Setting a blocking state otoh needs set_current_state() which issues a
full memory barriers with the store (critically in this case,
effectively after the store) such that it orders the state store with a
subsequent load in the condition check if it really needs to go to
sleep.
In full:
current->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE; wait = false;
smp_mb(); smp_wmb();
if (wait) p->state = TASK_RUNNING;
schedule();
Without that smp_mb(); the following order is possible:
if (wait)
wait = false;
smp_wmb();
p->state = TASK_RUNNING;
current->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE;
schedule();
And we'll wait forever more..

I didn't even question your decisions, I (like Peter) just wanted a more
coherent change-log. Thanks to Peter for the explanations though. :-)

Maybe this might be self documented in set_current_state(),
as we have about 120 calls to __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)

And about 138 calls to set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)

The problem is that there _might_ be someone relying on that barrier.
Its (very) unlikely, but you don't want to risk subtle borkage just
because. And I'm too lazy to go audit all of them :/

Do I have to add more comments in changelogs or is it OK for you ?
Maybe something like:
"
current->state = TASK_RUNNING can safely be converted to __set_current_state()
as we're already in that state. Other assignments are converted to
set_current_state() (which uses set_mb()).
"

Fabian
