[PATCH RT 03/10] rtmutex: Handle non enqueued waiters gracefully

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Feb 26 2016 - 17:20:52 EST


3.12.54-rt73-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Yimin debugged that in case of a PI wakeup in progress when
rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() calls task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() the latter
returns -EAGAIN and in consequence the remove_waiter() call runs into
a BUG_ON() because there is nothing to remove.

Guard it with rt_mutex_has_waiters(). This is a quick fix which is
easy to backport. The proper fix is to have a central check in
remove_waiter() so we can call it unconditionally.
