When ran from the sched-out path (preempt_notifier or perf_event),
p->state is irrelevant to determine preemption. You can get preempted
with !task_is_running() just fine.

The right indicator for preemption is if the task is still on the
runqueue in the sched-out path.

This changes from checking task->state to current->on_rq, but this change
from "task" to "current" is not described in the commit message, which is odd.

Are we really sure that task == current here ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

Yeah, @task == @prev == current at this point, but yes, not sure why I
changed that... lemme change that back to task.

There is a lot of code cleanup going on here which does not seem to belong
to a "Fix" patch.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Maybe, but I so hate whitespace only patches :-/

FWIW, with that:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

I have no strong feelings either way w.r.t. the whitespace cleanup. ;)

Thanks,
