Hi Carlos,
I've updated the patch with three additional comments and I've mentioned
the filed bug.
Please review it once again before I commit it to master and cherry pick
it to the release branches.

What a great read! Thank you to everyone you had to spend time tracking
this down. Thank you for the patch Stefan.
This patch is introducing the same compiler barriers and comments
for pthread_mutex_trylock as introduced for pthread_mutex_lock and
pthread_mutex_timedlock by commit 8f9450a0b7a9e78267e8ae1ab1000ebca08e473e
"Add compiler barriers around modifications of the robust mutex list."
Okay to commit?
OK for master with 3 additional comments about ordering.
Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
The original commit was first available with glibc release 2.25.
Once this patch is committed, we should at least backport it to
glibc release branches 2.25 - 2.28?
... and 2.29.
Yes, of course.
Yes, absolutely, once you commit to master you are free to use
git cherry-pick -x to put the fix on all the branches you need.
Please post your work to libc-stable@sourceware.org.
Does anybody know if and where the original commit was backported to?
I've found at least "Bug 1401665 - Fix process shared robust mutex defects." (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401665#c34)
Yes, I did that backport to RHEL 7.6. These fixes are just "further"
fixes right? I'll work on getting this fixed in RHEL 7.7, and RHEL 8
for all arches.
Sounds great.
That's the same fix for pthread_mutex_trylock as previously done for
pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_timedlock.
