Subject: [patch 11/12] futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2019 22:55:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191106224556.935606117@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20191106215534.241796846@linutronix.de

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 funcitonal change.
