From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2022 12:27:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Consider task_struct::saved_state in wait_task_inactive(). wait_task_inactive() waits for thread to unschedule in a certain task state. On PREEMPT_RT that state may be stored in task_struct::saved_state while the thread, that is being waited for, blocks on a sleeping lock and task_struct::__state is set to TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT. It is not possible to check only for TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT to be sure that the task is blocked on a sleeping lock because during wake up (after the sleeping lock has been acquired) the task state is set TASK_RUNNING. After the task in on CPU and acquired the pi_lock it will reset the state accordingly but until then TASK_RUNNING will be observed (with the desired state is saved in saved_state). Check also for task_struct::saved_state if the desired match was not found in task_struct::__state on PREEMPT_RT. If the state was found in saved_state, wait until the task is idle and state is visible in task_struct::__state.
