Subject: [PATCH 02/12] locking/rwsem: Exit early when held by an anonymous owner
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 17:12:15 +0100
Message-ID: <20200114161225.309792-3-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200114161225.309792-1-hch@lst.de>
The rwsem code overloads the owner field with either a task struct or
negative magic numbers. Add a quick hack to catch these negative
values early on. Without this spinning on a writer that replaced the
owner with RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN, rwsem_spin_on_owner can crash while
deferencing the task_struct ->on_cpu field of a -8 value.
XXX: This might be a bit of a hack as the code otherwise doesn't use
the ERR_PTR family macros, better suggestions welcome.
