[PATCH] random: Use wait_event_freezable() in add_hwgenerator_randomness()

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Thu Sep 05 2019 - 12:41:16 EST


Sebastian reports that after commit ff296293b353 ("random: Support freezable
kthreads in add_hwgenerator_randomness()") we can call might_sleep() when the
task state is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE (state=1). This leads to the following warning.

do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<00000000349d1489>] prepare_to_wait_event+0x5a/0x180
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 828 at kernel/sched/core.c:6741 __might_sleep+0x6f/0x80

RIP: 0010:__might_sleep+0x6f/0x80

Call Trace:

kthread+0x10c/0x140
ret_from_fork+0x27/0x50

We shouldn't call kthread_freezable_should_stop() from deep within the
wait_event code because the task state is still set as
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead of TASK_RUNNING and
kthread_freezable_should_stop() will try to call into the freezer with
the task in the wrong state. Use wait_event_freezable() instead so that
it calls schedule() in the right place and tries to enter the freezer
when the task state is TASK_RUNNING instead.
