[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v4 02/11] dm-ploop: fix lost wakeup in ploop_allocator()

[Alexander Ivanov <alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com>]

ploop_allocator() checks prealloc_size and kthread_should_stop() before
setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. If ploop_req_prealloc() sets prealloc_size
and calls wake_up_process() in between, the wakeup finds the task
running and is lost, so the allocator goes to sleep with a pending
preallocation request. Later requests for the same size return early
without waking it up, so the request may stay pending forever and
waiters on dispatcher_wq_prealloc hang. The same applies to
kthread_stop().

Set the task state before checking the conditions, as the canonical
kthread loop does. set_current_state() implies a full barrier, which
pairs with the one in try_to_wake_up().
