2019-01-31 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Torvald Riegel <triegel@redhat.com> Rik Prohaska <prohaska7@gmail.com> [BZ# 23844] * nptl/Makefile (tests): Add tst-rwlock-tryrdlock-stall, and tst-rwlock-trywrlock-stall. * nptl/pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock.c (__pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock): Wake waiters if PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED is set. * nptl/pthread_rwlock_trywrlock.c (__pthread_rwlock_trywrlock): Set __wrphase_fute to 1 only if we started the write phase. * nptl/tst-rwlock-tryrdlock-stall.c: New file. * nptl/tst-rwlock-trywrlock-stall.c: New file. * support/Makefile (libsupport-routines): Add xpthread_rwlock_destroy. * support/xpthread_rwlock_destroy.c: New file. * support/xthread.h: Declare xpthread_rwlock_destroy.
