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

 



The patch titled
     pi-futex: set PF_EXITING without taking ->pi_lock
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     pi-futex-set-pf_exiting-without-taking-pi_lock.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: pi-futex: set PF_EXITING without taking ->pi_lock
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

It is a bit annoying that do_exit() takes ->pi_lock to set PF_EXITING.  All
we need is to synchronize with lookup_pi_state() which saw this task
without PF_EXITING under ->pi_lock.

Change do_exit() to use spin_unlock_wait().
