When detecting an invalid list->hdev, the process needs to manually set its state to TASK_RUNNING and exit. In the original code, set_current_state() (which includes a memory barrier) is used here, but it is immediately followed by a mutex_unlock() call. Since mutex_unlock() internally includes a memory barrier, this ensures that all modifications within the critical section (including the process state) are visible to other CPUs. Therefore, replacing it with __set_current_state() (without an implicit barrier) avoids redundant memory barriers.

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 reStructuredText 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.
