From 561c943e1709fe80588f21bdc2e2badc69540ead Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 14:35:39 +0200 Subject: futex: Handle unlock_pi race gracefully [ Upstream commit 89e9e66ba1b3bde9d8ea90566c2aee20697ad681 ] If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0 transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the waiters bit set. This opens the following race: CPU0 CPU1 uval = get_user(futex) lock(hb) lock(hb) futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS .... unlock(hb) cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval) So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because the futex value is valid. To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag change and retry.
