Message-Id: <1463534783-38814-4-git-send-email-Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Date: Tue, 17 May 2016 21:26:21 -0400 From: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@....com> To: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...hat.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Davidlohr Bueso <dave@...olabs.net>, Jason Low <jason.low2@...com>, Dave Chinner <david@...morbit.com>, Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>, "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>, Scott J Norton <scott.norton@....com>, Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@....com>, Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@....com> Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] locking/rwsem: Don't wake up one's own task As rwsem_down_read_failed() will queue itself and potentially call __rwsem_do_wake(sem, RWSEM_WAKE_ANY), it is possible that a reader will try to wake up its own task. This patch adds a check to make sure that this won't happen.
