Use helper functions to access current->state. Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy.
current->state = TASK_RUNNING is replaced by __set_current_state()
You sometimes use __set_current_state() and sometimes set_current_state().
Hello Sergei,
Peter suggested to use __set_current_state() for TASK_RUNNING : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=142442259719216&w=2
I didn't even question your decisions, I (like Peter) just wanted a more coherent change-log. Thanks to Peter for the explanations though. :-)
Regards, Fabian
