From 3f186d974826847a07bc7964d79ec4eded475ad9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2019 22:55:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] futex: Add mutex around futex exit The mutex will be used in subsequent changes to replace the busy looping of a waiter when the futex owner is currently executing the exit cleanup to prevent a potential live lock.
