From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit 9067ac85d533651b98c2ff903182a20cbb361fcb upstream. wake_up_process() should never wakeup a TASK_STOPPED/TRACED task. Change it to use TASK_NORMAL and add the WARN_ON(). TASK_ALL has no other users, probably can be killed.
