sched: fix race between try_to_wake_up() and move_task()
Until a task's state has been seen as interruptible/uninterruptible and it is no longer on_cpu, it is possible that the task may move to another CPU (load balancing may cause this). Here is an example where the race condition results in incorrect operation: - cpu 0 calls put_prev_task on task A, task A's state is TASK_RUNNING - cpu 0 runs task B, which attempts to wake up A - cpu 0 begins try_to_wake_up(), recording src_cpu for task A as cpu 0 - cpu 1 then pulls task A (perhaps due to idle balance) - cpu 1 runs task A, which then sleeps, becoming INTERRUPTIBLE - cpu 0 continues in try_to_wake_up(), thinking task A's previous cpu is 0, where it is actually 1 - if select_task_rq returns cpu 0, task A will be woken up on cpu 0 without properly updating its cpu to 0 in set_task_cpu() CRs-Fixed: 665958 Change-Id: Icee004cb320bd8edfc772d9f74e670a9d4978a99 Signed-off-by: Steve Muckle <smuckle@codeaurora.org>
