Hi Ingo,
I finally found the bug that causes tst-robust8 from the glibc to fail
on s390x. Turned out to be a common code problem with the processing of
the robust futex list. The patch below fixes the bug for me.

good catch! A quick preliminary review of your patch indicates it's
fine - and it might be v2.6.23 material.

there's a symmetric bug in kernel/compat_futex.c too.
