The current semantics for futex_wake() are a bit loose, specifically asking for 0 futexes to be woken actually gets you 1. Adding a !nr check to sys_futex_wake() makes that it would return 0 for unaligned futex words, because that check comes in the shared futex_wake() function. Adding the !nr check there, would affect the legacy sys_futex() semantics. Hence frob a flag :-( Suggested-by: André Almeida <andrealmeid@igalia.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230921105248.048643656@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
