By changing futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock() all wait_list modifications are done under both hb->lock and wait_lock. This closes the obvious interleave pattern between futex_lock_pi() and futex_unlock_pi(), but not entirely so. See below: Before: futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi() unlock hb->lock lock hb->lock unlock hb->lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock -EAGAIN lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_add unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock schedule() lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_del unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock <idem> -EAGAIN lock hb->lock After: futex_lock_pi() futex_unlock_pi() lock hb->lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_add unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock unlock hb->lock schedule() lock hb->lock unlock hb->lock lock hb->lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock list_del unlock rt_mutex->wait_lock lock rt_mutex->wait_lock unlock rt_mutex_wait_lock -EAGAIN unlock hb->lock It does however solve the earlier starvation/live-lock scenario which got introduced with the -EAGAIN since unlike the before scenario; where the -EAGAIN happens while futex_unlock_pi() doesn't hold any locks; in the after scenario it happens while futex_unlock_pi() actually holds a lock, and then it is serialized on that lock.

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.
