Subject: [PATCH] pi-futex: missing pi_waiters plist initialization
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc4~107
X-Git-Url: http://git.rot13.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b50f60ceeef2e38e529737c0260d9543939915ad;p=powerpc.git

[PATCH] pi-futex: missing pi_waiters plist initialization

Initialize init task's pi_waiters plist.  Otherwise cpu hotplug of cpu 0
might crash, since rt_mutex_getprio() accesses an uninitialized list head.

call chain which led to crash:

take_cpu_down
sched_idle_next
__setscheduler
rt_mutex_getprio

Using PLIST_HEAD_INIT in the INIT_TASK macro doesn't work unfortunately,
since the pi_waiters member is only conditionally present.
