From 19e274630c9e23a84d5940af83cf5db35103f968 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 10:47:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] job control: reorganize wait_task_stopped() wait_task_stopped() tested task_stopped_code() without acquiring siglock and, if stop condition existed, called wait_task_stopped() and directly returned the result. This patch moves the initial task_stopped_code() testing into wait_task_stopped() and make wait_consider_task() fall through to wait_task_continue() on 0 return. This is for the following two reasons. * Because the initial task_stopped_code() test is done without acquiring siglock, it may race against SIGCONT generation. The stopped condition might have been replaced by continued state by the time wait_task_stopped() acquired siglock. This may lead to unexpected failure of WNOHANG waits. This reorganization addresses this single race case but there are other cases - TASK_RUNNING -> TASK_STOPPED transition and EXIT_* transitions. * Scheduled ptrace updates require changes to the initial test which would fit better inside wait_task_stopped().
