linux sleep implementation

1> sleeping in the kernel is like this (source taken from Robert Love
Book, page 53)

add_wait_queue(q, &wait);
while (!condition) {
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
if (signal_pending(current))
...............................

schedule();
}
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
remove_wait_queue(q, &wait);

Isn't it possible that just before the schedule is invoked, the task is
pre-empted. What if it is preempted because of the event that it
intends to wait for occurs. Will it give weird result in that case ?

2> What happens after the task in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state receives a
signal and finshes with the associated handler. Does it go back to
sleep again ?

Thanks
