[PATCH 3/6] nodedev: Signal initCond with driver locked
Posted by Michal Privoznik 4 years, 10 months ago
This is more academic dispute than a real bug, but this is taken
from pthread_cond_broadcast(3p) man:

  The pthread_cond_broadcast() or pthread_cond_signal() functions
  may be called by a thread whether or not it currently owns the
  mutex that threads calling pthread_cond_wait() or
  pthread_cond_timedwait() have associated with the condition
  variable during their waits; however, if predictable scheduling
  behavior is required, then that mutex shall be locked by the
  thread calling pthread_cond_broadcast() or
  pthread_cond_signal().

Therefore, broadcast the initCond while the nodedev driver is
still locked.

It is consistent with what we do elsewhere.
