I suspect Toralf is hitting the WARN_ON in __unqueue_futex:
if (WARN_ON(!q->lock_ptr || !spin_is_locked(q->lock_ptr)
|| plist_node_empty(&q->list)))
Toralf, can you instrument that let us know which of conditions is
triggering the WARN_ON? Something like the following should be adequate
to get you the line number. I suspect it is plist_node_empty give the
git bisect results you reported.
