From eaaea8036d0261d87d7072c5bc88c7ea730c18ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 09:34:17 +0200 Subject: futex: Fix locking imbalance Rich reported a lock imbalance in the futex code: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14288 It's caused by the displacement of the retry_private label in futex_wake_op(). The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the error handling path and retries without locking them again which makes the next unlock fail. Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry.
