From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch. If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know. --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- [ Upstream commit a97cb0e7b3f4c6297fd857055ae8e895f402f501 ] Both Geert and DaveJ reported that the recent futex commit: c1e2f0eaf015 ("futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futex") introduced a problem with setting OWNER_DEAD. We set the bit on an uninitialized variable and then entirely optimize it away as a dead-store. Move the setting of the bit to where it is more useful.
