+Monitor wwnr
+============
+
+- Name: wwrn - wakeup while not running
+- Type: per-task deterministic automaton
+- Author: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This is a per-task sample monitor, with the following
+definition::
+
+ |
+ |
+ v
+ wakeup +-------------+
+ +--------- | |
+ | | not_running |
+ +--------> | | <+
+ +-------------+ |
+ | |
+ | switch_in | switch_out
+ v |
+ +-------------+ |
+ | running | -+
+ +-------------+
+
+This model is borken, the reason is that a task can be running
+in the processor without being set as RUNNABLE. Think about a
+task about to sleep::
+
+ 1: set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
+ 2: schedule();
+
+And then imagine an IRQ happening in between the lines one and two,
+waking the task up. BOOM, the wakeup will happen while the task is
+running.
+
+- Why do we need this model, so?
+- To test the reactors.
