We return 1, not the index of futex woken up.

Hi Jangwoong,
Thanks for your patch! However...

We return to userspace the value at *woken, so your fix is wrong. Have a
look at futex_wait_multiple():
ret = futex_wait_multiple_setup(vs, count, &hint);
if (ret) {
if (ret > 0) {
/* A futex was woken during setup */
ret = hint;
}
return ret;
}
When we return 1 at futex_wait_multiple_setup(), we end up returning the
hint/woken value to userspace.
Let me know if you have questions.
André

Hi André.
That patch was definitely wrong, I apologize.
However, since futex_wait_multiple_setup() sets the last index of
futex that was woken up,
shouldn't the comment be modified as below?
If so, I will resend a patch.
/*
- * Even if something went wrong, if we find out that a futex
- * was woken, we don't return error and return this index to
- * userspace
+ * Even if something went wrong, if we find out that any futex
+ * was woken, we don't return error and return the last index
+ * awoken to userspace
*/
*woken = unqueue_multiple(vs, i);
if (*woken >= 0)
I sent the patch because I thought this was important enough to be corrected.
Let me know If this is not crucial enough to be patched, so I won't
keep sending comment-fixing patches.
Thank you.
Jangwoong Kim.

Indeed, this is more correct. You can send a patch to clarify this comment.
