Yes.

OK, this is fixable.  rfcomm_run() can do

	add_wait_queue(&rfcomm_wq, &wait);
	while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
		rfcomm_process_sessions();

		set_kthread_wants_signal(true);
		wait_woken(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
		set_kthread_wants_signal(false);
	}
	remove_wait_queue(&rfcomm_wq, &wait);

Or. perhaps we can change wait_woken

	-	set_current_state(mode);
	+	if (mode)
	+		set_current_state(mode);


then rfcomm_run() can do

	for (;;) {
		rfcomm_process_sessions();

		set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
		if (kthread_should_stop())
			break;
		wait_woken(0);
	}

Or perhaps we can split wait_woken() into 2 helpers,

	static inline long wait_woken(wq, mode, timeout)
	{
		set_current_state(mode);
		schedule_woken(wq, timeout); // does the rest
	}

to avoid "mode == 0" hack; rfcomm_run() should use schedule_woken().

What do you think?

Oleg.
