According to [1]: musl 1.1.20 introduced a regression in stdio FILE locking that can cause soft deadlocks with >2 threads contending for a FILE. Users/dists should apply https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=0db393d3a77bb9f300a356c6a5484fc2dddb161d. [1] https://twitter.com/musllibc/status/1042292786568024070 This commit therefore adds the corresponding patch to the musl package.

Subject: [PATCH] fix race condition in file locking
|
|
|
|
The condition occurs when
|
|
- thread #1 is holding the lock
|
|
- thread #2 is waiting for it on __futexwait
|
|
- thread #1 is about to release the lock and performs a_swap
|
|
- thread #3 enters the __lockfile function and manages to grab the lock
|
|
before thread #1 calls __wake, resetting the MAYBE_WAITERS flag
|
|
- thread #1 calls __wake
|
|
- thread #2 wakes up but goes again to __futexwait as the lock is
|
|
held by thread #3
|
|
- thread #3 releases the lock but does not call __wake as the
|
|
MAYBE_WAITERS flag is not set
|
|
|
|
This condition results in thread #2 not being woken up. This patch fixes
|
|
the problem by making the woken up thread ensure that the flag is
|
|
properly set before going to sleep again.
|
