The TIF_XXX flags are stored in the flags field in the thread_info
struct (TI_FLAGS), not in the flags field of the task_struct structure
(TASK_FLAGS).
It seems this bug didn't generate any important side-effects, otherwise it
wouldn't have went unnoticed for 12 years (since v2.6.32).

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.
