Sorry for the late reply.
That is true. Setting state to vcpu_hashed in pv_wait_head() isn't
really necessary. I kept it there for consistency sake as the state may
be set to vcpu_hashed in pv_kick_node(). We can certainly take that out.
BTW, could you also review the other patches when you have time? I am
coming to the LinuxCon/Plumbers next week. Hopefully, I can chat with
you again.
Cheers,
Longman
