[PATCH V4] futex: set FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT during demux for FUTEX_WAIT

From: Darren Hart
Date: Thu Apr 14 2011 - 17:43:23 EST


The FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT flag was not getting set, causing the restart_block to
restart futex_wait() without a timeout after a signal.

Commit b41277dc7a18ee332d in 2.6.38 introduced the regression by accidentally
removing the the FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT assignment from futex_wait() during the setup
of the restart block. Restore the originaly behavior.

Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32922

V2: Added references to commit message.
V3: Set flag during restart block instead of do_futex()
V4: Correct stupid order of assignment mistake pointed out by Eric
