All of the pthread_cancel() problems I was aware of were
addressed by the patch set I checked in a month ago. i.e. the
case where thread A acquires an internal lock and is subsequently
canceled by thead B -- prior to releasing said internal lock.
That left all other threads blocked forever if they later tried to
access anything using that lock.
As I think about it, I believe I failed to fixup
uClibc/libc/stdlib/malloc/
so that probably still needs some love, but I believe that
everything else was fixed.
Is there another class of cancellation problems still lurking
that has not yet been addressed?
