4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx> commit cef988642cdac44e910a27cb6e8166c96f86a0df upstream. Comedi's read and write file operation handlers (`comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()`) currently call `copy_to_user()` or `copy_from_user()` whilst in the `TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE` state, which falls foul of the `might_fault()` checks when enabled. Fix it by setting the current task state back to `TASK_RUNNING` a bit earlier before calling these functions.
