4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch. If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know.
--- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- [ Upstream commit c74aef2d06a9f59cece89093eecc552933cba72a ]
There was a reported suspicion about a race between exit_pi_state_list() and put_pi_state(). The same report mentioned the comment with put_pi_state() said it should be called with hb->lock held, and it no longer is in all places.
As it turns out, the pi_state->owner serialization is indeed broken. As per the new rules:
734009e96d19 ("futex: Change locking rules")
pi_state->owner should be serialized by pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock. For the sites setting pi_state->owner we already hold wait_lock (where required) but exit_pi_state_list() and put_pi_state() were not and raced on clearing it.
