From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2018 10:15:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: move state change before hrtimer_cancel in do_nanosleep() Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.10-rt8.tar.xz There is a small window between setting t->task to NULL and waking the task up (which would set TASK_RUNNING). So the timer would fire, run and set ->task to NULL while the other side/do_nanosleep() wouldn't enter freezable_schedule(). After all we are peemptible here (in do_nanosleep() and on the timer wake up path) and on KVM/virt the virt-CPU might get preempted. So do_nanosleep() wouldn't enter freezable_schedule() but cancel the timer which is still running and wait for it via hrtimer_wait_for_timer(). Then wait_event()/might_sleep() would complain that it is invoked with state != TASK_RUNNING. This isn't a problem since it would be reset to TASK_RUNNING later anyway and we don't rely on the previous state. Move the state update to TASK_RUNNING before hrtimer_cancel() so there are no complains from might_sleep() about wrong state.
