Subject: futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting
To: stable@vger.kernel.org
Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>, Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>, Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>, Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org>
Message-ID: <20210201151214.2193508-12-lee.jones@linaro.org>
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
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.
