    Subject[12/99] futex: Fix spurious wakeup for requeue_pi really
    2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------
    From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

    commit 11df6dddcbc38affb7473aad3d962baf8414a947 upstream.

    The requeue_pi path doesn't use unqueue_me() (and the racy lock_ptr ==
    NULL test) nor does it use the wake_list of futex_wake() which where
    the reason for commit 41890f2 (futex: Handle spurious wake up)

    See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com>

    The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to
    be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that
    due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined
    as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns
    correctly EWOULDBLOCK.

    Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do
    the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let
    it deal with the spurious wakeup.
