From 993b2ff221999066fcff231590593d0b98f45d32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:27:00 -0700 Subject: futex: Mention key referencing differences between shared and private futexes Update our documentation as of fix 76835b0ebf8 (futex: Ensure get_futex_key_refs() always implies a barrier). Explicitly state that we don't do key referencing for private futexes.

For example: task A | task B exit_pi_state_list | pi_state = | curr->pi_state_list->next | | futex_requeue(requeue_pi=1) | // pi_state is the same as | // the one in task A | free_pi_state(pi_state) | list_del_init(&pi_state->list) | kfree(pi_state) list_del_init(&pi_state->list) | Move the free_pi_state calls in requeue_pi to before it drops the hb locks which it's already holding. [ tglx: Removed a pointless free_pi_state() call and the hb->lock held debugging. The latter comes via a seperate patch ] Signed-off-by: Brian Silverman Cc: austin.linux@gmail.com Cc: darren@dvhart.com Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1414282837-23092-1-git-send-email-bsilver16384@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- kernel/futex.c | 22 +++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/futex.c b/kernel/futex.c index bbf071f325b8..63678b573d61 100644 --- a/kernel/futex.c +++ b/kernel/futex.c @@ -647,8 +647,14 @@ static struct futex_pi_state * alloc_pi_state(void) return pi_state; } +/* + * Must be called with the hb lock held. + */ static void free_pi_state(struct futex_pi_state *pi_state) { + if (!pi_state) + return; + if (!atomic_dec_and_test(&pi_state->refcount)) return; @@ -1527,15 +1533,6 @@ static int futex_requeue(u32 __user *uaddr1, unsigned int flags, } retry: - if (pi_state != NULL) { - /* - * We will have to lookup the pi_state again, so free this one - * to keep the accounting correct. - */ - free_pi_state(pi_state); - pi_state = NULL; - } - ret = get_futex_key(uaddr1, flags & FLAGS_SHARED, &key1, VERIFY_READ); if (unlikely(ret != 0)) goto out; @@ -1625,6 +1622,8 @@ retry_private: case 0: break; case -EFAULT: + free_pi_state(pi_state); + pi_state = NULL; double_unlock_hb(hb1, hb2); hb_waiters_dec(hb2); put_futex_key(&key2); @@ -1640,6 +1639,8 @@ retry_private: * exit to complete. * - The user space value changed. */ + free_pi_state(pi_state); + pi_state = NULL; double_unlock_hb(hb1, hb2); hb_waiters_dec(hb2); put_futex_key(&key2); @@ -1716,6 +1717,7 @@ retry_private: } out_unlock: + free_pi_state(pi_state); double_unlock_hb(hb1, hb2); hb_waiters_dec(hb2); @@ -1733,8 +1735,6 @@ out_put_keys: out_put_key1: put_futex_key(&key1); out: - if (pi_state != NULL) - free_pi_state(pi_state); return ret ? ret : task_count; } -- cgit v1.2.3
