Subject[PATCH] futex: robust futex maybe never be awaked, on rare situation.
Date
I use model checker find a issue of robust and pi futex. On below
situation, the owner can't find something in pi_state_list, while
the requester will be blocked, never be awaked.

/*some cs code*/

futex_lock_pi_atomic
...
newval = uval | FUTEX_WAITERS;
ret = lock_pi_update_atomic(uaddr, uval, newval);
...
attach_to_pi_owner
....
p = find_get_task_by_vpid(pid);
if (!p)
return handle_exit_race(uaddr, uval, NULL);
....
raw_spin_lock_irq(&p->pi_lock);
....
pi_state = alloc_pi_state();
....
do_exit->mm_release
if (unlikely(tsk->robust_list)) {
exit_robust_list(tsk);
tsk->robust_list = NULL;
}
if (unlikely(!list_empty(&tsk->pi_state_list)))
exit_pi_state_list(tsk); /*WILL MISS*/
list_add(&pi_state->list, &p->pi_state_list);
WILL BLOCKED, NEVER WAKEUP!
