Ok, but what if that task goes to sleep soon after beeing scheduled and there is no other task on the runqueue and the page fault has not been handled yet?

But the idle task is waiting for the fault completion so you can't do that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
