[PATCH v2 0/5] selftests/futex: fix the issue of abnormal test results caused by thread timing
Posted by Yuwen Chen 1 day, 22 hours ago
On the Android arm32 platform, when performing the futex_requeue test, it will
most likely return a failure. The specific reason is detailed in a commit[1]
previously submitted by Edward Liaw. However, this commit cannot perfectly
solve the problem. This is because using a barrier does not guarantee that
the child thread will wait on futex_wait.

This series of patches attempts to solve this problem by checking whether
the child thread is in a sleeping state. This is because when the child thread
goes to sleep, it indicates that it is waiting for the futex lock.

v1->v2:
    - Solve the compilation problems found by the kernel test robot
    - Cleanup the atomic library code for futex test
