[PATCH RT 04/22] futex: Fix OWNER_DEAD fixup

From: Julia Cartwright <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-06 09:18:40
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

[ Upstream commit a97cb0e7b3f4c6297fd857055ae8e895f402f501 ]

Both Geert and DaveJ reported that the recent futex commit:

  c1e2f0eaf015 ("futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futex")

introduced a problem with setting OWNER_DEAD. We set the bit on an
uninitialized variable and then entirely optimize it away as a
dead-store.

Move the setting of the bit to where it is more useful.
