Date: Fri Mar 08 2019 - 07:59:45 EST


4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 71828b2240692cec0e68b8d867bc00e1745e7fae ]

This patch moves setting of the current state into the loop. Otherwise
the task may end up in a busy wait loop if none of the break conditions
are met.
