Subject: sched: Fix wake up race with rt_mutex_setprio()
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:45:32 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.1002142036260.2811@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
rt_mutex_setprio() can race with try_to_wake_up():
CPU 0 CPU 1
try_to_wake_up(p)
task_rq_lock(p)
p->state = TASK_WAKING;
task_rq_unlock() rt_mutex_setprio(p)
task_rq_lock(p) <- succeeds (old CPU)
newcpu = select_task_rq(p)
set_task_cpu(p)
task_rq_lock(p) <- succeeds (new CPU)
activate_task(p) change sched_class(p)
That way we end up with the task enqueued in the wrong sched class.
Solve this by waiting for p->state != TASK_WAKING in rt_mutex_setprio().
Debugged and tested in the preempt-rt tree.
