When requeuing tasks from one futex to another, the reference held by the requeued task to the original futex location needs to be dropped eventually. Dropping the reference may ultimately lead to a call to "iput_final" and subsequently call into filesystem- specific code - which may be non-atomic. It is therefore safer to defer this drop operation until after the futex_hash_bucket spinlock has been dropped. Originally-From: Helge Bahmann <hcb@chaoticmind.net> Signed-off-by:

Rich reported a lock imbalance in the futex code: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14288 It's caused by the displacement of the retry_private label in futex_wake_op(). The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the error handling path and retries without locking them again which makes the next unlock fail. Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry. Reported-by:

Use kernel-doc format to describe struct futex_q. Correct the wakeup definition to eliminate the statement about waking the waiter between the plist_del() and the q->lock_ptr = 0. Note in the comment that PI futexes have a different definition of the woken state. Signed-off-by:

If userspace tries to perform a requeue_pi on a non-requeue_pi waiter, it will find the futex_q->requeue_pi_key to be NULL and OOPS. Check for NULL in match_futex() instead of doing explicit NULL pointer checks on all call sites. While match_futex(NULL, NULL) returning false is a little odd, it's still correct as we expect valid key references. Signed-off-by:

The requeue_pi path doesn't use unqueue_me() (and the racy lock_ptr == NULL test) nor does it use the wake_list of futex_wake() which where the reason for commit 41890f24 (futex: Handle spurious wake up) See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com> The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns correctly EWOULDBLOCK. Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let it deal with the spurious wakeup.

There is currently no check to ensure that userspace uses the same futex requeue target (uaddr2) in futex_requeue() that the waiter used in futex_wait_requeue_pi(). A mismatch here could very unexpected results as the waiter assumes it either wakes on uaddr1 or uaddr2. We could detect this on wakeup in the waiter, but the cleanup is more intense after the improper requeue has occured. This patch stores the waiter's expected requeue target in a new requeue_pi_key pointer in the futex_q which futex_requeue() checks prior to attempting to do a proxy lock acquistion or a requeue when requeue_pi=1. If they don't match, return -EINVAL from futex_requeue, aborting the requeue of any remaining waiters. Signed-off-by:

The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and futex_wait_requeue_pi. The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake / requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one of the syscall restart error codes. In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in spurious wake up accelerator :) Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

This reverts commit 928686b7. The patch was an optimization of the old futex wake code where we woke the waiter and then set q->lock_ptr to NULL. When the waiter preempted the waker then we run into lock contention on q->lock_ptr aka. hb->lock. commit f1a11e (futex: remove the wait queue) changes the wakeup logic by setting q->lock_ptr to NULL _before_ waking the task. It keeps a reference on the task struct of the to be woken task to avoid an exit race. The combination of both patches resulted in different race on -RT: A is blocked on futex B calls futex_wake B sets q(A)->lock_ptr to NULL and puts A on the wake list B is preempted ... A wakes up (e.g. timer, signal) A detects q->lock_ptr = NULL and returns A waits on a different futex B is scheduled back in B wakes A A sees a spurious wake up Reported-by:

PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup. It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang. By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to queue_me(). The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi() relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex. Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement with a description of why the test is performed. Signed-off-by:

The robust list pointers of user space held futexes are kept intact over an exec() call. When the exec'ed task exits exit_robust_list() is called with the stale pointer. The risk of corruption is minimal, but still it is incorrect to keep the pointers valid. Actually glibc should uninstall the robust list before calling exec() but we have to deal with it anyway. Nullify the pointers after [compat_]exit_robust_list() has been called. Reported-by:

Commit f2e21c96 had unfortunate side effects with cpufreq governors on some systems. If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors. Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep the idle time accounting correct in any case. [ tglx: Added comment and tweaked the changelog ] Reported-by:

If futex_wait_requeue_pi() wakes prior to requeue, we drop the reference to the source futex_key twice, once in handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() and once on our way out. Remove the drop from the handle_early_requeue_pi_wakeup() and keep the get/drops together in futex_wait_requeue_pi(). Reported-by:
