Subject: [PATCH] perf-bench/futex: Fix hung wakeup tasks after requeueing
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:00:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1429894848.10273.44.camel@stgolabs.net> (raw)
The futex-requeue benchmark can hang because of missing wakeups
once the benchmark is done, ie:
[Run 1]: Requeued 1024 of 1024 threads in 0.3290 ms
perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (135/1024)
This bug, while perhaps suggesting missing wakeups in kernel futex
code, is merely a consequence of the crappy FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE man
page, incorrectly mentioning that the number of requeued tasks is
in fact returned, not the wakeups. This patch acknowledges this
and updates the corresponding futex_wake code around it.
