FUTEX_WAIT fails with EAGAIN if the value of *uaddr no longer matches
the expected val.

#include <linux/futex.h>

int main(void) {
int op = FUTEX_WAIT;
int exp = 1;
int *addr = &exp;
int val = 1; /* XXX change this to anything else to get EAGAIN */
int rc = syscall(SYS_futex, addr, op, val, 0, 0, 0);
if (rc < 0 && errno == EAGAIN)
write(1, "EAGAIN\n", 7);
return 0;

I just encountered this myself yesterday while implementing futex-based
locks/condvars for Ruby:
