1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed
exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks.
2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious.
3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc.
Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected
and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem
is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like
each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-)
4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK,
when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment
in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension.
I guess someone already saw this, the chunk:
if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex))
ret = 0;
is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the
rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous
owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid.
I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()
and making all the work in context of process taking lock.
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding
an additional state transition to the exit code.
This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults
is not able to release the futexes.
Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH
problem finally.
Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup
in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access
functions.
This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()
Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()
Added some error checks for verification.
The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.
