commit da791a667536bf8322042e38ca85d55a78d3c273 upstream.
Stefan reported, that the glibc tst-robustpi4 test case fails occasionally. That case creates the following race between sys_exit() and sys_futex_lock_pi():
CPU0 CPU1
sys_exit() sys_futex() do_exit() futex_lock_pi() exit_signals(tsk) No waiters: tsk->flags |= PF_EXITING; *uaddr == 0x00000PID mm_release(tsk) Set waiter bit exit_robust_list(tsk) { *uaddr = 0x80000PID; Set owner died attach_to_pi_owner() { *uaddr = 0xC0000000; tsk = get_task(PID); } if (!tsk->flags & PF_EXITING) { ... attach(); tsk->flags |= PF_EXITPIDONE; } else { if (!(tsk->flags & PF_EXITPIDONE)) return -EAGAIN; return -ESRCH; <--- FAIL }
ESRCH is returned all the way to user space, which triggers the glibc test case assert. Returning ESRCH unconditionally is wrong here because the user space value has been changed by the exiting task to 0xC0000000, i.e. the FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set and the futex PID value has been cleared. This is a valid state and the kernel has to handle it, i.e. taking the futex.
Cure it by rereading the user space value when PF_EXITING and PF_EXITPIDONE is set in the task which 'owns' the futex. If the value has changed, let the kernel retry the operation, which includes all regular sanity checks and correctly handles the FUTEX_OWNER_DIED case.
If it hasn't changed, then return ESRCH as there is no way to distinguish this case from malfunctioning user space. This happens when the exiting task did not have a robust list, the robust list was corrupted or the user space value in the futex was simply bogus.
