There's a number of 'interesting' problems, all caused by holding hb->lock while doing the rt_mutex_unlock() equivalient. Notably: - a PI inversion on hb->lock; and, - a SCHED_DEADLINE crash because of pointer instability. The previous changes: - changed the locking rules to cover {uval,pi_state} with wait_lock. - allow to do rt_mutex_futex_unlock() without dropping wait_lock; which in turn allows to rely on wait_lock atomicity completely. - simplified the waiter conundrum. It's now sufficient to hold rtmutex::wait_lock and a reference on the pi_state to protect the state consistency, so hb->lock can be dropped before calling rt_mutex_futex_unlock().

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
