From 8eb23b9f35aae413140d3fda766a98092c21e9b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 10:18:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Debug nested sleeps Validate we call might_sleep() with TASK_RUNNING, which catches places where we nest blocking primitives, eg. mutex usage in a wait loop. Since all blocking is arranged through task_struct::state, nesting this will cause the inner primitive to set TASK_RUNNING and the outer will thus not block. Another observed problem is calling a blocking function from schedule()->sched_submit_work()->blk_schedule_flush_plug() which will then destroy the task state for the actual __schedule() call that comes after it.
