For requeue PI it's required to establish PI state for the PI futex to which waiters are requeued. This either acquires the user space futex on behalf of the top most waiter on the inner 'waitqueue' futex, or attaches to the PI state of an existing waiter, or creates on attached to the owner of the futex. This code can retry in case of failure, but retry can never happen when the pi state was successfully created. The condition to run this code is: (task_count - nr_wake) < nr_requeue which is always true because: task_count = 0 nr_wake = 1 nr_requeue >= 0 Remove it completely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
