From f2330b650e97a68c1afce66305f10651a9544037 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Edward Liaw Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 17:17:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] selftests/mm: fix deadlock for fork after pthread_create with atomic_bool Some additional synchronization is needed on Android ARM64; we see a deadlock with pthread_create when the parent thread races forward before the child has a chance to start doing work.
