From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2021 12:33:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] locking/rtmutex: Dequeue waiter on ww_mutex deadlock The rt_mutex based ww_mutex variant queues the new waiter first in the lock's rbtree before evaluating the ww_mutex specific conditions which might decide that the waiter should back out. This check and conditional exit happens before the waiter is enqueued into the PI chain. The failure handling at the call site assumes that the waiter, if it is the top most waiter on the lock, is queued in the PI chain and then proceeds to adjust the unmodified PI chain, which results in RB tree corruption. Dequeue the waiter from the lock waiter list in the ww_mutex error exit path to prevent this.
