[PATCH v2] rtmutex: ensure we always wake up the top waiter

[Wander Lairson Costa]

Let L1 and L2 be two spinlocks.

Let T1 be a task holding L1 and blocked on L2. T1, currently, is the top
waiter of L2.

Let T2 be the task holding L2.

Let T3 be a task trying to acquire L1.

The following events will lead to a state in which the wait queue of L2
isn't empty, but nobody holds the lock.

T1                T2                                  T3
==                ==                                  ==

                                                      spin_lock(L1)
                                                      | raw_spin_lock(L1->wait_lock)
                                                      | rtlock_slowlock_locked(L1)
                                                      | | task_blocks_on_rt_mutex(L1, T3)
                                                      | | | orig_waiter->lock = L1
                                                      | | | orig_waiter->task = T3

                  | | raw_spin_unlock(L2->wait_lock)  | | | |
                                                      | | | | waiter = T1->pi_blocked_on

                                                      | | | | waiter->task == T1
                                                      | | | | raw_spin_lock(L2->wait_lock)
                                                      | | | | dequeue(L2, waiter)
                                                      | | | | update_prio(waiter, T1)
                                                      | | | | enqueue(L2, waiter)
                                                      | | | | waiter != rt_mutex_top_waiter(L2)
                                                      | | | | L2->owner == NULL
                                                      | | | | wakeup(T1)
                                                      | | | | raw_spin_unlock(L2->wait_lock)
T1 wakes up
T1 != top_waiter(L2)
schedule_rtlock()

If the deadline of T1 is updated before the call to update_prio(), and
the new deadline is greater than the deadline of the second top waiter,
then after the requeue, T1 is no longer the top waiter, and we wake up
the wrong task.

We can reproduce the bug in PREEMPT_RT with stress-ng:

while true; do
    stress-ng --sched deadline --sched-period 1000000000 \
    	    --sched-runtime 800000000 --sched-deadline \
    	    1000000000 --mmapfork 23 -t 20
done
