doubt in pagefault handler

[John Navil Joseph <cs99185@nitc.ac.in>]

hi,

i was reading through the file mm/memory.c,
in the function handle_mm_fault() 

there exists a statement like

current->state = TASK_RUNNING; //line 1364

why is this done.? considering that we are in the page fault handler..?


TIA,
	john
