Subject: [PATCH 08/13] futex: Fix (possible) missed wakeup
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2021 22:42:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YGDqOPquwh/m9sL9@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <YGDp1qJOCUJmE1Ty@decadent.org.uk>

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit b061c38bef43406df8e73c5be06cbfacad5ee6ad upstream.

We must not rely on wake_q_add() to delay the wakeup; in particular
commit:

  1d0dcb3ad9d3 ("futex: Implement lockless wakeups")

moved wake_q_add() before smp_store_release(&q->lock_ptr, NULL), which
could result in futex_wait() waking before observing ->lock_ptr ==
NULL and going back to sleep again.
