| |
RT has a problem when the wait on a futex/rtmutex got interrupted by a timeout or a signal. task->pi_blocked_on is still set when returning from rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock(). The task must acquire the hash bucket lock after this.
If the hash bucket lock is contended then the BUG_ON(rt_mutex_real_waiter(task->pi_blocked_on)) in task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() will trigger.
This can be avoided by clearing task->pi_blocked_on in the return path of rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() which removes the task from the boosting chain of the rtmutex. That's correct because the task is not longer blocked on it.
