Subject: locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable() for CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y
From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@xxxxxxxx>
commit 17fcbd590d0c3e35bd9646e2215f86586378bc42 upstream.
We hang if SIGKILL has been sent, but the task is stuck in down_read()
(after do_exit()), even though no task is doing down_write() on the
rwsem in question:
INFO: task libupnp:21868 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
libupnp D 0 21868 1 0x08100008
...
Call Trace:
__schedule()
schedule()
__down_read()
do_exit()
do_group_exit()
__wake_up_parent()
This bug has already been fixed for CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y in
the following commit:
04cafed7fc19 ("locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable()")
... however, this bug also exists for CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y.
