Subject: Pinning down a blocked task to extract diagnostics
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 16:50:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200305005049.GA21120@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72> (raw)
Hello!
Suppose that I need to extract diagnostics information from a blocked
task, but that I absolutely cannot tolerate this task awakening in the
midst of this extraction process. Is the following code the right way
to make this work given a task "t"?
raw_spin_lock_irq(&t->pi_lock);
if (t->on_rq) {
/* Task no longer blocked, so ignore it. */
} else {
/* Extract consistent diagnostic information. */
}
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&t->pi_lock);
It looks like all the wakeup paths acquire ->pi_lock, but I figured I
should actually ask...
Thanx, Paul
