There is apparently one site that violates the rule that only current and ttwu() will modify task->state, namely ptrace_{,un}freeze_traced() will change task->state for a remote task. Oleg explains: "TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED was always protected by siglock. In particular, ttwu(__TASK_TRACED) must be always called with siglock held. That is why ptrace_freeze_traced() assumes it can safely do s/TASK_TRACED/__TASK_TRACED/ under spin_lock(siglock)." This breaks the ordering scheme introduced by commit: dbfb089d ("sched: Fix loadavg accounting race") Specifically, the reload not matching no longer implies we don't have to block. Simply things by noting that what we need is a LOAD->STORE ordering and this can be provided by a control dependency. So replace: prev_state = prev->state; raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock); smp_mb__after_spinlock(); /* SMP-MB */ if (... && prev_state && prev_state == prev->state) deactivate_task(); with: prev_state = prev->state; if (... && prev_state) /* CTRL-DEP */ deactivate_task(); Since that already implies the 'prev->state' load must be complete before allowing the 'prev->on_rq = 0' store to become visible.
