Commit 73d786bd043e "futex: Rework inconsistent rt_mutex/futex_q state"
mentions that it could cause an infinite loop, and will fix it in the later
patches:
bebe5b514345f09 futex: Futex_unlock_pi() determinism
cfafcd117da0216 futex: Rework futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock()

But at the moment they're not backported. In a single-core environment, the
probability of triggering is high.

I also backported commit b4abf91047cf ("rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe"),
it fixes a potential deadlock problem. Although it hasn't actually been
triggered in our environment at the moment.

Other patches are used to resolve conflicts or fix problems caused by new
patches.


Anna-Maria Gleixner (1):
  rcu: Update documentation of rcu_read_unlock()

Mike Galbraith (1):
  futex: Handle transient "ownerless" rtmutex state correctly

Peter Zijlstra (6):
  futex: Cleanup refcounting
  futex,rt_mutex: Introduce rt_mutex_init_waiter()
  futex: Pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under hb->lock
  futex: Rework futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock()
  futex: Futex_unlock_pi() determinism
  futex,rt_mutex: Fix rt_mutex_cleanup_proxy_lock()

Thomas Gleixner (3):
  futex: Rename free_pi_state() to put_pi_state()
  rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe
  futex: Avoid freeing an active timer
