Remove broken task->state references and let wake_up_process() DTRT. The anti-pattern in these patches breaks the ordering of ->state vs COND as described in the comment near set_current_state() and can lead to missed wakeups: (OoO load, observes RUNNING)<-. for (;;) { | t->state = UNINTERRUPTIBLE; | smp_mb(); ,-----> ,' (OoO load, observed !COND) | | | | COND = 1; | `- if (t->state != RUNNING) | wake_up_process(t); // not done if (COND) ---------' break; schedule(); // forever waiting } t->state = TASK_RUNNING; Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/qca_spi.c | 6 ++---- drivers/usb/gadget/udc/max3420_udc.c | 15 +++++---------- drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c | 3 +-- kernel/softirq.c | 2 +- 4 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/qca_spi.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/qca_spi.c @@ -653,8 +653,7 @@ qcaspi_intr_handler(int irq, void *data) struct qcaspi *qca = data; qca->intr_req++; - if (qca->spi_thread && - qca->spi_thread->state != TASK_RUNNING) + if (qca->spi_thread) wake_up_process(qca->spi_thread); return IRQ_HANDLED; @@ -777,8 +776,7 @@ qcaspi_netdev_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, netif_trans_update(dev); - if (qca->spi_thread && - qca->spi_thread->state != TASK_RUNNING) + if (qca->spi_thread) wake_up_process(qca->spi_thread); return NETDEV_TX_OK; --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/max3420_udc.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/max3420_udc.c @@ -509,8 +509,7 @@ static irqreturn_t max3420_vbus_handler( ?
