[Bug 1864864] Re: [SRU] pthread_rwlock_trywrlock results in hang

[Ondřej Surý]

JFTR RHEL 8 and FC30 has already pulled the fix into their glibc, so
it's really only Ubuntu and Debian affected by this.

** Package changed: ubuntu => glibc (Ubuntu)

Title:
  [SRU] pthread_rwlock_trywrlock results in hang

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in glibc package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * pthread_rwlock_trywrlock and pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock before glibc
  2.30 could hang:
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23844#c14

   * We are especially able to reproduce the problem with BIND 9.16.x
  when --with-pthread-rwlock configure option enabled

   * But the impact is not limited to BIND 9.16, but any multithreaded
  application using phtread rwlocks

  [Test Case]

   * There's three test cases included in the upstream bugzilla

  [Regression Potential]

   * I don't believe there's a chance for regressions here
