      the kernel corectly.

      [PATCH] preemptive kernel behavior change: don't be rude · 326e5830
      Robert Love authored
      - do not manually set task->state
      - instead, in preempt_schedule, set a flag in preempt_count that
        denotes that this task is entering schedule off a kernel preemption.
      - use this flag in schedule to jump to pick_next_task
      - in preempt_schedule, upon return from schedule, unset the flag
      - have entry.S just call preempt_schedule and not duplicate this work,
        as Linus suggested.  I agree.  Note this makes debugging easier as
        we keep a single point of entry for kernel preemptions.
      
      The result: we can safely preempt non-TASK_RUNNING tasks.  If one is
      preempted, we can safely survive schedule because we won't handle the
      special casing of non-TASK_RUNNING at the top of schedule.  Thus other
      tasks can run as desired and our non-TASK_RUNNING task will eventually
      be rescheduled, in its original state, and complete happily.
      
      This is the behavior we have in the 2.4 patches and 2.5 until
      ~2.5.6-pre.  This works.  It requires no other changes elsewhere (it
      actually removes some special-casing Ingo did in the signal code).
