From f123c98e7f168e949b283690693695f988332c3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 15:08:29 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] rtmutex: Fix comment about why new_owner can be NULL in wake_futex_pi() The comment about why rt_mutex_next_owner() can return NULL in wake_futex_pi() is not the normal case. Tracing the cause of why this occurs is more likely that waiter simply timedout. But because it originally caused contention with the futex, the owner will go into the kernel when it unlocks the lock. Then it will hit this code path and rt_mutex_next_owner() will return NULL.
