Subject: [PATCH 3/3] test-ww_mutex: Make sure we bail out instead of livelock
Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2023 04:36:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230922043616.19282-4-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230922043616.19282-1-jstultz@google.com>

I've seen what appears to be livelocks in the stress_inorder_work()
function, and looking at the code it is clear we can have a case
where we continually retry acquiring the locks and never check to
see if we have passed the specified timeout.

This patch reworks that function so we always check the timeout
before iterating through the loop again.

I believe others may have hit this previously here:
