From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 10:01:41 +0000 (+0000) Subject: futex: Add mutex around futex exit X-Git-Tag: v4.9.255~20 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ad3466ae9d6d42c5918505d59aada8ad9f5be32a;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git futex: Add mutex around futex exit commit 3f186d974826847a07bc7964d79ec4eded475ad9 upstream. The mutex will be used in subsequent changes to replace the busy looping of a waiter when the futex owner is currently executing the exit cleanup to prevent a potential live lock.
