SubjectInconsistency in changing the state of task ??
Date
Hi,
while browsing through fs/select.c file of 2.4.19, I came across two
DIFFERENT ways of changing the state of the current task in do_select():

set_current_state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
AND current->state = TASK_RUNNING;

I am curious to know if the second line of code doesn't cause any problem in
SMP systems. I also see the same situation in do_poll().

Please cc to my id since I am not subscribed to the mailing list.

Thanks
Prashanth
