+/**
+ * __vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock - Try to unlock an uncontended robust futex
+ *					   with a 64-bit pending op pointer
+ * @lock:	Pointer to the futex lock object
+ * @tid:	The TID of the calling task
+ * @pop:	Pointer to the task's robust_list_head::list_pending_op
+ *
+ * Return: The content of *@lock. On success this is the same as @tid.
+ *
+ * The function implements:
+ *	if (atomic_try_cmpxchg(lock, &tid, 0))
+ *		*op = NULL;
+ *	return tid;
+ *
+ * There is a race between a successful unlock and clearing the pending op
+ * pointer in the robust list head. If the calling task is interrupted in the
+ * race window and has to handle a (fatal) signal on return to user space then
+ * the kernel handles the clearing of @pending_op before attempting to deliver
+ * the signal. That ensures that a task cannot exit with a potentially invalid
+ * pending op pointer.
+ *
+ * User space uses it in the following way:
+ *
+ * if (__vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock(lock, tid, &pending_op) != tid)
+ *	err = sys_futex($OP | FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK,....);
+ *
+ * If the unlock attempt fails due to the FUTEX_WAITERS bit set in the lock,
+ * then the syscall does the unlock, clears the pending op pointer and wakes the
+ * requested number of waiters.
