From 1bbf20835c4e088667a090ce6523a0f70b62dc76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Darren Hart Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 12:05:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rtmutex: Avoid deadlock in rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() In the event of a lock steal or owner died, rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() will give the rt_mutex to the waiting task, but it fails to release the wait_lock. This leads to subsequent deadlocks when other tasks try to acquire the rt_mutex. I also removed a few extra blank lines that really spaced this routine out.
