Subject: [PATCH 5/6] futex: unlock before returning -EFAULT
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:56:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090312075606.9856.88729.stgit@Aeon> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090312075349.9856.83687.stgit@Aeon>

futex_lock_pi can potentially return -EFAULT with the rt_mutex held.  This
seems like the wrong thing to do as userspace should assume -EFAULT means the
lock was not taken.  Even if it could figure this out, we'd be leaving the
pi_state->owner in an inconsistent state.  This patch unlocks the rt_mutex
prior to returning -EFAULT to userspace.

Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation.  Passes basic
pthread_mutex and PI tests out of ltp/testcases/realtime.
