[RFC PATCH 1/2] sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting sched_switch event
From: Valentin Schneider
Date: Mon Nov 29 2021 - 07:38:18 EST
As of commit
c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
the following sequence becomes possible:
p->__state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
__schedule()
deactivate_task(p);
ttwu()
READ !p->on_rq
p->__state=TASK_WAKING
trace_sched_switch()
__trace_sched_switch_state()
task_state_index()
return 0;
TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in
the trace event.
Prevent this by pushing the value read from __schedule() down the trace
event.
