| |
If thread is preempted before calling set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE), and the other thread set the condition followed with wake_up_process. After that when this thread is re-scheduled, calling set_current_state to set itself as state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, if it is preempted again after that and before __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING), it triggers the invalid wakeup problem.
To solve this problem, using preempt_disable() to bound the operaion that setting the task state and the conditions(set by the wake thread) validation.
