Subject: [PATCH 4/3] rtmutex: Avoid barrier in rt_mutex_handle_deadlock
Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 14:05:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160308220539.GB4404@linux-uzut.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457461223-4301-1-git-send-email-dave@stgolabs.net>

The very nature of rt_mutex_handle_deadlock() implies that this
patch is merely a formality, as in practice the saved barrier
is of little use. That said, we can relax setting the task state
and be done with it; blocking unconditionally... this is a deadlock!
