From e6e00df182908f34360c3c9f2d13cc719362e9c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2019 22:55:45 +0100 Subject: futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting 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.
