/*
43
 * Note about race conditions.
44
 * Because of non-atomic nature of operations performed sequentially on the futex
45
 * counter and the futex wait queue, there is a race condition:
46
 *
1152 jermar 47
 * (wq->missed_wakeups == 1) && (futex->count = 1)
1116 jermar 48
 *
49
 * Scenario 1 (wait queue timeout vs. futex_up()):
50
 * 1. assume wq->missed_wakeups == 0 && futex->count == -1
51
 *    (ie. thread A sleeping, thread B in the critical section)
52
 * 2. A receives timeout and gets removed from the wait queue
53
 * 3. B wants to leave the critical section and calls futex_up()
54
 * 4. B thus changes futex->count from -1 to 0
55
 * 5. B has to call SYS_FUTEX_WAKEUP syscall to wake up the sleeping thread
56
 * 6. B finds the wait queue empty and changes wq->missed_wakeups from 0 to 1
57
 * 7. A fixes futex->count (i.e. the number of waiting threads) by changing it from 0 to 1
58
 *
59
 * Scenario 2 (conditional down operation vs. futex_up)
60
 * 1. assume wq->missed_wakeups == 0 && futex->count == 0
61
 *    (i.e. thread A is in the critical section)
62
 * 2. thread B performs futex_trydown() operation and changes futex->count from 0 to -1
63
 *    B is now obliged to call SYS_FUTEX_SLEEP syscall
64
 * 3. A wants to leave the critical section and does futex_up()
65
 * 4. A thus changes futex->count from -1 to 0 and must call SYS_FUTEX_WAKEUP syscall
66
 * 5. B finds the wait queue empty and immediatelly aborts the conditional sleep
67
 * 6. No thread is queueing in the wait queue so wq->missed_wakeups changes from 0 to 1
68
 * 6. B fixes futex->count (i.e. the number of waiting threads) by changing it from 0 to 1
69
 *
70
 * Both scenarios allow two threads to be in the critical section simultaneously.
71
 * One without kernel intervention and the other through wq->missed_wakeups being 1.
72
 *
73
 * To mitigate this problem, futex_down_timeout() detects that the syscall didn't sleep
74
 * in the wait queue, fixes the futex counter and RETRIES the whole operation again.
