And it is part of a full patch which was originally back-ported to v4.14 as commit e6e00df182908f34360c3c9f2d13cc719362e9c0 The handle_exit_race() function is defined in commit 9c3f39860367 ("futex: Cure exit race"), which never returns -EBUSY. This results in a small piece of dead code in the attach_to_pi_owner() function: int ret = handle_exit_race(uaddr, uval, p); /* Never return -EBUSY */ ... if (ret == -EBUSY) *exiting = p; /* dead code */ The return value -EBUSY is added to handle_exit_race() in upsteam commit ac31c7ff8624409 ("futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting"). This commit was incorporated into v4.9.255, before the function handle_exit_race() was introduced, whitout Modify handle_exit_race(). To fix dead code, extract the change of handle_exit_race() from commit ac31c7ff8624409 ("futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting"), re-incorporated. Lee writes: This commit takes the remaining functional snippet of: ac31c7ff8624409 ("futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting") ... and is the correct fix for this issue.
