[PATCH 04/11] exit: Deal with nested sleeps

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Sep 24 2014 - 04:35:34 EST


do_wait() is a big wait loop, but we set TASK_RUNNING too late; we end
up calling potential sleeps before we reset it.

Not strictly a bug since we're guaranteed to exit the loop and not
call schedule(); put in annotations to quiet might_sleep().

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at ../kernel/sched/core.c:7123 __might_sleep+0x7e/0x90()
do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffff8109a788>] do_wait+0x88/0x270
