From d2ee7198cc2414aade234a3cebc69e6cbff35d9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:26:47 -0700 Subject: pi-futex: set PF_EXITING without taking ->pi_lock It is a bit annoying that do_exit() takes ->pi_lock to set PF_EXITING. All we need is to synchronize with lookup_pi_state() which saw this task without PF_EXITING under ->pi_lock. Change do_exit() to use spin_unlock_wait().
