Subject: [PATCH] rcutorture: Use __set_current_state() set task state in rcu_nocb_toggle()
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 18:11:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702101125.14100-1-qiang.zhang@linux.dev> (raw)
In the rcu_nocb_toggle(), the schedule_hrtimeout() is called after the
state assignment with no condition check. the release-acquire pair from
raw_spin_unlock/lock(&cpu_base->lock), guarantee that task->__state is
visible to the hrtimer callback:
CPU0 CPU1
__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
->WRITE_ONCE(task->__state, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
schedule_hrtimeout
->hrtimer_sleeper_start_expires()
->raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&cpu_base->lock)
....
->raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cpu_base->lock)
hard-irq:
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&cpu_base->lock)
__hrtimer_run_queues
->__run_hrtimer
->raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cpu_base->lock)
->fn(timer)
->hrtimer_wakeup
->wake_up_process
->try_to_wake_up
->READ task->__state
This commit therefore use the __set_current_state() to replace the
set_current_state() in rcu_nocb_toggle().
