Subject: Inconsistency in changing the state of task ??
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2003 01:36:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <courier.3E646584.000059D3@softhome.net> (raw)

Hi,
     while browsing through fs/select.c file of 2.4.19, I came across two 
DIFFERENT ways of changing the state of the current task in do_select(): 

            set_current_state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
     AND    current->state = TASK_RUNNING; 

I am curious to know if the second line of code doesn't cause any problem in 
SMP systems.  I also see the same situation in do_poll(). 

Please cc to my id since I am not subscribed to the mailing list. 

Thanks
Prashanth
