futex: fix spin_lock() / spin_unlock_irq() imbalance
This patch and problem analysis is specific for 4.4 LTS, due to incomplete backporting of other fixes. Later LTS series have different backports. The following is obviously incorrect: static int wake_futex_pi(u32 __user *uaddr, u32 uval, struct futex_q *this, struct futex_hash_bucket *hb) { [...] raw_spin_lock(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock); [...] raw_spin_unlock_irq(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock); [...] } The 4.4-specific fix should probably go in the direction of b4abf91047c, making everything irq-safe. Probably, backporting of b4abf91047c to 4.4 LTS could thus be another good idea. However, this might involve some more 4.4-specific work and require thorough testing: > git log --oneline v4.4..b4abf91047c -- kernel/futex.c kernel/locking/rtmutex.c | wc -l 10 So this patch is just an obvious quickfix for now. Hint: the lock order is documented in 4.9.y and later. A similar documenting is missing in 4.4.y. Please somebody either backport also, or write a new description, if there would be some differences I cannot easily see at the moment. Without reliable docs, inspection of the locking correctness may become a pain.
