[PATCH RT] locking/rtmutex: Clean ->pi_blocked_on in the error case

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Mon Oct 07 2019 - 10:16:53 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The function rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() cleans ->pi_blocked_on in case
of failure (timeout, signal). The same cleanup is required in
__rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().
In both the cases the tasks was interrupted by a signal or timeout while
acquiring the lock and after the interruption it longer blocks on the
lock.

Fixes: 1a1fb985f2e2b ("futex: Handle early deadlock return correctly")

This means I'm going to revert the raw_spinlock_t changes to
futex_hash_bucket, add back all futex fixes we had and put this one on
top.
