Subject: rt-mutex: fix chain walk early wakeup bug
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1a539a87280b3032fd12bc93a4a82f1d8aa97ca8;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

rt-mutex: fix chain walk early wakeup bug

Alexey Kuznetsov found some problems in the pi-futex code.

One of the root causes is:

When a wakeup happens, we do not to stop the chain walk so we follow a not
longer relevant locking chain.

Drop out when this happens.
