From: Will Deacon will.deacon@arm.com Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2019 14:23:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: futex: Bound number of LDXR/STXR loops in FUTEX_WAKE_OP
Our futex implementation makes use of LDXR/STXR loops to perform atomic updates to user memory from atomic context. This can lead to latency problems if we end up spinning around the LL/SC sequence at the expense of doing something useful.
Rework our futex atomic operations so that we return -EAGAIN if we fail to update the futex word after 128 attempts. The core futex code will reschedule if necessary and we'll try again later.
