Thanks a lot!

But I am totally confused...

OK, so the ptracer has already did the TASK_TRACED -> __TASK_TRACED change in
ptrace_freeze_traced(),

This is already wrong. But

	Where does this __might_sleep() come from ??? I ses no blocking calls
	in ptrace_stop(). Not to mention it is called with ->siglock held and
	right after this lock is dropped we take tasklist_lock.

	How this connects to the debugging patch I sent? Did you see this warning
	without that patch?

This is WARN_ON(current->state) added to ptrace_stop(), this can explain
BUG_ON() in do_notify_parent() you reported.

So, the tracee returns from schedule() with ->state != TASK_RUNNING ???
This must not be possible.

OK, perhaps task->state was changed by ptrace_unfreeze_traced()? this can
only happen if it races with ttwu(__TASK_TRACED) without ->siglock held,
nobody should do this.

Strange.
