futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter during the requeue loop in the event of a lock steal or owner died. futex_wait_requeue_pi() cleans up the pi_state owner, using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is found on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner
pid.
The astute reviewer will note that still exists a race between the time
futex_requeue() releases hb2->lock() and the time when futex_wait_requeue_pi() acquires it. During this time the pi_state and the futex uaddr are not in sync with the rt_mutex ownership. This patch closes the window to the point where
my tests now pass, but we still need to address it.

Note: Please apply to mainline and rt



static inline
-void requeue_pi_wake_futex(struct futex_q *q, union futex_key *key)
+void requeue_pi_wake_futex(struct futex_q *q, union futex_key *key,
+               struct futex_hash_bucket *hb)
{
    drop_futex_key_refs(&q->key);
    get_futex_key_refs(key);
    q->key = *key;
+    q->lock_ptr = &hb->lock;

Hrm... turns out changing this breaks the handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() logic. I'll have to respin this patch to account for that as well. Please hold off on this patch.

In fact, this doesn't affect the handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() code in the slightest. It only needs to hold a hb->lock (either one is adequate) to ensure the requeue routine has completed. By changing the q->lock_ptr of the waiter to hb2->lock we ensure the pi_state is protected from concurrent access by futex_wait_requeue_pi() and new contending threads.

Ingo, please apply to tip/urgent.

Thanks,
