-NOTE: this patch is a rebase of John Blackwood's patch. On his kernel, he must be using
-an older simple wait patch - as his applies to kernel/sched/core.c, while the simple wait
-completion code lives in kernel/sched/completion.c ... I have ported this to test with
-nvidia, as i would like to see if it fixes the semaphore issues i have seen.
-I've kept the original patch comment in tact;
I'm not 100% sure that the patch below will fix your problem, but we
saw something that sounds pretty familiar to your issue involving the
nvidia driver and the preempt-rt patch. The nvidia driver uses the
completion support to create their own driver's notion of an internally
used semaphore.
Fix a race in the PRT wait for completion simple wait code.
A wait_for_completion() waiter task can be awoken by a task calling
complete(), but fail to consume the 'done' completion resource if it
looses a race with another task calling wait_for_completion() just as
it is waking up.
In this case, the awoken task will call schedule_timeout() again
without being in the simple wait queue.
So if the awoken task is unable to claim the 'done' completion resource,
check to see if it needs to be re-inserted into the wait list before
waiting again in schedule_timeout().
