Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] futex/requeue: Fix rtmutex schedule preparation for requeue PI
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:51:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722085140.1949077-2-yaokai34@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722085140.1949077-1-yaokai34@huawei.com>
A waiter requeued onto a PI futex can reach rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock()
without rtmutex schedule preparation:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 293 at kernel/sched/core.c:7606
RIP: rt_mutex_schedule+0x43/0x50
Call Trace:
rt_mutex_slowlock_block.constprop.0+0x5b/0x320
rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock+0x3e/0x80
futex_wait_requeue_pi+0x3ba/0x590
do_futex+0x171/0x1f0
rt_mutex_schedule() requires current->sched_rt_mutex to be set. Normally,
rt_mutex_pre_schedule() sets it before an rtmutex waiter can schedule. With
requeue PI, another task can enqueue the waiter after its futex_q becomes
visible:
waiter requeue task
------ ------------
futex_wait_requeue_pi()
futex_wait_setup()
futex_queue(&q)
futex_requeue()
rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock()
enqueue rt_waiter
install pi_blocked_on
requeue_futex()
plist_del(&q->list)
futex_do_wait()
plist_node_empty(&q->list)
skip schedule()
plist_add(&q->list)
futex_requeue_pi_complete()
IN_PROGRESS -> DONE
futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync() // DONE
rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock()
rt_mutex_schedule()
futex_do_wait() mistakes the temporary removal for a wakeup and skips
schedule(). The proxy waiter can nevertheless remain blocked on the target
rtmutex and subsequently enter rt_mutex_schedule() with
current->sched_rt_mutex clear.
Call rt_mutex_pre_schedule() and rt_mutex_post_schedule() directly around
rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() so this second blocking point has the required
scheduler preparation.
Fixes: d14f9e930b90 ("locking/rtmutex: Use rt_mutex specific scheduler helpers")
