From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit fb75a4282d0d9a3c7c44d940582c2d226cf3acfb ] If the proxy lock in the requeue loop acquires the rtmutex for a waiter then it acquired also refcount on the pi_state related to the futex, but the waiter side does not drop the reference count. Add the missing free_pi_state() call.
