[PATCH] rtmutex.c: Fix incorrect waiter check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In task_blocks_on_lock, there's a null check on pi_blocked_on
of the task_struct. This pointer can encode the fact that the
task that contains the pointer is waking (preventing requeuing)
and therefore is non-null. Use the inline function to avoid
dereferencing an invalid "pointer"
