From 50462ce0052c67b5a06f19fb7c7f308813006879 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabian Frederick Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 19:12:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hso: replace current->state by __set_current_state() Use helper functions to access current->state. Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the exact definition of the problem.
