Subject: locking/futex: Check PF_KTHREAD rather than !p->mm to filter out kthreads
X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v4.1/fixes-rc1~199^2~13
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a21294644623ee41034db60e93aaebed4db0e57b;p=pandora-kernel.git

locking/futex: Check PF_KTHREAD rather than !p->mm to filter out kthreads

attach_to_pi_owner() checks p->mm to prevent attaching to kthreads and
this looks doubly wrong:

1. It should actually check PF_KTHREAD, kthread can do use_mm().

2. If this task is not kthread and it is actually the lock owner we can
   wrongly return -EPERM instead of -ESRCH or retry-if-EAGAIN.

   And note that this wrong EPERM is the likely case unless the exiting
   task is (auto)reaped quickly, we check ->mm before PF_EXITING.
