[PATCH -v5 10/14] futex: Pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under hb->lock

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Sat Mar 04 2017 - 05:08:08 EST


There's a number of 'interesting' problems, all caused by holding
hb->lock while doing the rt_mutex_unlock() equivalient.

Notably:

- a PI inversion on hb->lock; and,

- a DL crash because of pointer instability.

Because of all the previous patches that:

- allow us to do rt_mutex_futex_unlock() without dropping wait_lock;
which in turn allows us to rely on wait_lock atomicy.

- changed locking rules to cover {uval,pi_state} with wait_lock.

- simplified the waiter conundrum.

We can now quite simply pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under
hb->lock, a pi_state reference and wait_lock are sufficient.
