Subject: pi-futex: set PF_EXITING without taking ->pi_lock
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~719
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2ee7198cc2414aade234a3cebc69e6cbff35d9b;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

pi-futex: set PF_EXITING without taking ->pi_lock

It is a bit annoying that do_exit() takes ->pi_lock to set PF_EXITING.  All
we need is to synchronize with lookup_pi_state() which saw this task
without PF_EXITING under ->pi_lock.

Change do_exit() to use spin_unlock_wait().
