The hung-task detector reports:\n\n  INFO: task futex-resizer:314 blocked for more than 10 seconds.\n  task:futex-resizer state:D stack:14824 pid:314 tgid:312 ppid:311\n\n  Call Trace:\n   __schedule+0x521/0xf30\n   schedule+0x22/0xa0\n   futex_hash_allocate+0x3db/0x490\n   __do_sys_prctl+0x6f5/0xbd0\n   do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x530\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\n  Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks\n\nfutex_pivot_pending() allows the resize request to continue when\neither no replacement hash is pending (hash_new == NULL) or the current\nhash reference count has reached zero.\n\nAfter the final-reference wake, another futex task can complete the\npivot between the two observations:\n\n  T1                                  T2\n\n  futex_hash_allocate()\n    wait_var_event(mm, ...)\n      futex_pivot_pending(mm)\n        hash_new != NULL\n                                      futex_hash()\n                                        futex_ref_get(old) -> false\n                                        futex_pivot_hash(mm)\n                                          hash_new = NULL\n                                          __futex_pivot_hash(mm, new)\n                                            rcu_assign_pointer(hash, new)\n        fph = rcu_dereference(hash) /* new */\n        futex_ref_is_dead(fph) -> false\n      schedule()\n\nThe pivot changes the state from hash_new != NULL with a dead current\nhash to hash_new == NULL with a live current hash.  Because\nfutex_pivot_pending() reads hash_new and hash without serialization,\nthe resize task can observe hash_new in the pre-pivot state and hash in\nthe post-pivot state, causing futex_pivot_pending() to return false even\nthough the pivot has completed.  The task then goes to sleep after the\nwakeup has already been consumed.\n\nSerialize state reads in futex_pivot_pending() using futex_mm_phash::lock.\nThis guarantees that futex_pivot_pending() observes hash_new and hash\natomically, eliminating the race condition."
