During code inspection, the following potential race was seen: CPU0 CPU1 kvm_async_pf_task_wait apf_task_wake_one [L] swait_active(&n->wq) [S] prepare_to_swait(&n.wq) [L] if (!hlist_unhahed(&n.link)) schedule() [S] hlist_del_init(&n->link); Properly serialize swait_active() checks such that a wakeup is not missed.
