From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 119d6f6a3be8b424b200dcee56e74484d5445f7e upstream. Because wakeups can (fundamentally) be late, a task might not be in the expected state. Therefore testing against a task's state is racy, and can yield false positives.
