futex: Fix a race condition between REQUEUE_PI and task death
free_pi_state and exit_pi_state_list both clean up futex_pi_state's. exit_pi_state_list takes the hb lock first, and most callers of free_pi_state do too. requeue_pi doesn't, which means free_pi_state can free the pi_state out from under exit_pi_state_list. 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 <bsilver16384@gmail.com> 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 <tglx@linutronix.de>
