Subject: [GIT pull] locking updates for 5.0
Linus,
please pull the latest locking-urgent-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git locking-urgent-for-linus
A small series of fixes which all address possible missed wakeups:
- Document and fix the wakeup ordering of wake_q
- Add the missing barrier in rcuwait_wake_up(), which was documented in
the comment but missing in the code
- Fix the possible missed wakeups in the rwsem and futex code
Thanks,
tglx
------------------>
Peter Zijlstra (3):
sched/wake_q: Document wake_q_add()
sched/wake_q: Fix wakeup ordering for wake_q
futex: Fix (possible) missed wakeup
Prateek Sood (1):
sched/wait: Fix rcuwait_wake_up() ordering
