[added to the 4.1 stable tree] futex: Acknowledge a new waiter in counter before plist

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

 



From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit fe1bce9e2107ba3a8faffe572483b6974201a0e6 ]

Otherwise an incoming waker on the dest hash bucket can miss
the waiter adding itself to the plist during the lockless
check optimization (small window but still the correct way
of doing this); similarly to the decrement counterpart.
