      futex: Fix wakeup race by setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before queue_me() · 0729e196
      Darren Hart authored 
      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.

      futex: Correct futex_q woken state commentary · d8d88fbb
      Darren Hart authored 
      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.

      futex: Make function kernel-doc commentary consistent · d96ee56c
      Darren Hart authored 
      Make the existing function kernel-doc consistent throughout
futex.c, following Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-howto.txt as
closely as possible.

When unsure, at least be consistent within futex.c.

      futex: Correct queue_me and unqueue_me commentary · d40d65c8
      Darren Hart authored 
      The queue_me/unqueue_me commentary is oddly placed and out of date.
Clean it up and correct the inaccurate bits.
