From c27f392040e2f6dbe6de4f7ea0d052ccef835abe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 10:01:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting commit ac31c7ff8624409ba3c4901df9237a616c187a5d upstream. attach_to_pi_owner() returns -EAGAIN for various cases: - Owner task is exiting - Futex value has changed The caller drops the held locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and retries the operation. In case of the owner task exiting this can result in a live lock. As a preparatory step for seperating those cases, provide a distinct return value (EBUSY) for the owner exiting case. No functional change.
