Yeah, it should just be:
if (match_state && check_task_state(p, match_state))
return 0;
Also, looking at check_task_state():
+static bool check_task_state(struct task_struct *p, long match_state)
+{
+ bool match = false;
+
+ raw_spin_lock_irq(&p->pi_lock);
+ if (p->state == match_state)
+ match = true;
+ else if (p->saved_state == match_state)
+ match = true;
Why the if () else if()? and not just:
if (p->state == match_state || p->save_state == match_state)
match = true;
?
The else if makes me think there's something missing.
