Subject: futex_unlock_pi() hurts my brain and may cause application deadlock
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=187226f57f1381cfc63216979b4375f30e593795;p=linux-beck.git

futex_unlock_pi() hurts my brain and may cause application deadlock

Avoid futex_unlock_pi returning -EFAULT (which results in deadlock), by
clearing uval before jumping to retry_locked.
