Subject: [PATCH 3/6] futex: add double_unlock_hb()
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:55:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090312075552.9856.48021.stgit@Aeon> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090312075349.9856.83687.stgit@Aeon>
The futex code uses double_lock_hb() which locks the hb->lock's in pointer
value order. There is no parallel unlock routine, and the code unlocks them
in name order, ignoring pointer value. This opens up a window for an ABBA
deadlock. This patch adds double_unlock_hb() to remove the window as well
as refactor the duplicated code segments.
Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation. Passes basic
pthread_mutex and PI tests out of ltp/testcases/realtime.
