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 no task actually holds the lock.

| | raw_spin_unlock(L2->wait_lock) | | | |
| | | | waiter = T1->pi_blocked_on
| | | | waiter == rt_mutex_top_waiter(L2)
| | | | 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 the wrong task is
woken up which will then go back to sleep because it is not the top waiter.
This can be reproduced 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

A similar issue was pointed out by Thomas versus the cases where the top
waiter drops out early due to a signal or timeout, which is a general issue
for all regular rtmutex use cases, e.g. futex.
The problematic code is in rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain():
// Save the top waiter before dequeue/enqueue
prerequeue_top_waiter = rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock);
rt_mutex_dequeue(lock, waiter);
waiter_update_prio(waiter, task);
rt_mutex_enqueue(lock, waiter);
// Lock has no owner?
if (!rt_mutex_owner(lock)) {
// Top waiter changed
----> if (prerequeue_top_waiter != rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock))
----> wake_up_state(waiter->task, waiter->wake_state);
This only takes the case into account where @waiter is the new top waiter
due to the requeue operation.
But it fails to handle the case where @waiter is not longer the top
waiter due to the requeue operation.
Ensure that the new top waiter is woken up so in all cases so it can take
over the ownerless lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
