This breaks strace's test suite on 4.14.15 (and is present in upstream
obviously too):
    futex(0x7ff568b44ffc, 0x3, 0xfacefeed, 0xbadda7a0ca7b100d,
0x7ff568b44ffc, 0x9caffee1) = -1: Invalid argument

strace uses weird values in the testkit to pass down to futex as can be
seen. I think like in:
commit e78c38f6bdd900b2ad9ac9df8eff58b745dc5b3c
Author: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Oct 23 13:41:51 2017 +0200

    futex: futex_wake_op, do not fail on invalid op

something similar should be done here too. Maybe:
if (nr_wake < 0)
  nr_wake = 0;
if (nr_requeue < 0)
  nr_requeue = 0;
?

Maybe also with some pr_info_ratelimited like in the above commit?

thanks,
