Sebastian reports that after commitff296293b3("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 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 828 Comm: hwrng Not tainted 5.3.0-rc7-next-20190903+ #46 RIP: 0010:__might_sleep+0x6f/0x80 Call Trace: kthread_freezable_should_stop+0x1b/0x60 add_hwgenerator_randomness+0xdd/0x130 hwrng_fillfn+0xbf/0x120 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
