[PATCH 4.9 14/32] futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Feb 02 2021 - 09:18:52 EST
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.
