From 111fbc68fd895ba437bcb03d5dcc4dd21bc61df8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabian Frederick Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 19:12:53 +0100 Subject: powerpc/pmac: replace current->state by set_current_state() Use helper functions to access current->state. Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy. current->state = TASK_RUNNING can be replaced by __set_current_state() Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the exact definition of the problem.
