From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:26:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 130/342] futex: Fix bug on when a requeued RT task times out Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=a211a6391b03430c4bd22cf99ebe8e4412a76fc1 Requeue with timeout causes a bug with PREEMPT_RT_FULL. The bug comes from a timed out condition. TASK 1 TASK 2 ------ ------ futex_wait_requeue_pi() futex_wait_queue_me() double_lock_hb(); raw_spin_lock(pi_lock); if (current->pi_blocked_on) { } else { current->pi_blocked_on = PI_WAKE_INPROGRESS; run_spin_unlock(pi_lock); spin_lock(hb->lock); <-- blocked! plist_for_each_entry_safe(this) { rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock(); task_blocks_on_rt_mutex(); BUG_ON(task->pi_blocked_on)!!!! The BUG_ON() actually has a check for PI_WAKE_INPROGRESS, but the problem is that, after TASK 1 sets PI_WAKE_INPROGRESS, it then tries to grab the hb->lock, which it fails to do so. As the hb->lock is a mutex, it will block and set the "pi_blocked_on" to the hb->lock. When TASK 2 goes to requeue it, the check for PI_WAKE_INPROGESS fails because the task1's pi_blocked_on is no longer set to that, but instead, set to the hb->lock. The fix: When calling rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() a check is made to see if the proxy tasks pi_blocked_on is set. If so, exit out early. Otherwise set it to a new flag PI_REQUEUE_INPROGRESS, which notifies the proxy task that it is being requeued, and will handle things appropriately.
