+Subject: [PATCH v2] fix race condition in file locking
+
+The condition occurs when
+- thread #1 is holding the lock
+- thread #2 is waiting for it on __futexwait
+- thread #1 is about to release the lock and performs a_swap
+- thread #3 enters the __lockfile function and manages to grab the lock
+ before thread #1 calls __wake, resetting the MAYBE_WAITERS flag
+- thread #1 calls __wake
+- thread #2 wakes up but goes again to __futexwait as the lock is
+ held by thread #3
+- thread #3 releases the lock but does not call __wake as the
+ MAYBE_WAITERS flag is not set
+
+This condition results in thread #2 not being woken up. This patch fixes
+the problem by making the woken up thread ensure that the flag is
+properly set before going to sleep again.
