tty/ldsem: Decrement wait_readers on timeouted down_read() It seems like when ldsem_down_read() fails with timeout, it misses update for sem->wait_readers. By that reason, when writer finally releases write end of the semaphore __ldsem_wake_readers() does adjust sem->count with wrong value: sem->wait_readers * (LDSEM_ACTIVE_BIAS - LDSEM_WAIT_BIAS) I.e, if update comes with 1 missed wait_readers decrement, sem->count will be 0x100000001 which means that there is active reader and it'll make any further writer to fail in acquiring the semaphore. It looks like, this is a dead-code, because ldsem_down_read() is never called with timeout different than MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT, so it might be worth to delete timeout parameter and error path fall-back..
