Lai,

Your commit 2e12978a
(futex,plist: Pass the real head of the priority list to plist_del())
triggers gazillions warnings on User Mode Linux (x86, Linus' tree as of today):

!spin_is_locked(q->lock_ptr) in the WARN_ON() at line 786
triggers the warnings.

I'm not sure whether this shows a bug within UML
or the WARN_ON() is wrong.

What do you think?
