[ Upstream commitb061c38bef] We must not rely on wake_q_add() to delay the wakeup; in particular commit:1d0dcb3ad9("futex: Implement lockless wakeups") moved wake_q_add() before smp_store_release(&q->lock_ptr, NULL), which could result in futex_wait() waking before observing ->lock_ptr == NULL and going back to sleep again.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
