futex: Handle unlock_pi race gracefully
If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0
transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the
waiters bit set. This opens the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
uval = get_user(futex)
lock(hb)
lock(hb)
futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS
....
unlock(hb)
cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval)
So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because
the futex value is valid.
To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag
change and retry.
[ tglx: Massaged changelog and slightly reworked implementation ]
Fixes: ccf9e6a80d9e ("futex: Make unlock_pi more robust")
