From ce2ae53b750abfaa012ce408e93da131a5b5649b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sonny Rao Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:13:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] futexes: Fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() on huge page get_futex_key() can infinitely loop if it is called on a virtual address that is within a huge page but not aligned to the beginning of that page. The call to get_user_pages_fast will return the struct page for a sub-page within the huge page and the check for page->mapping will always fail. The fix is to call compound_head on the page before checking that it's mapped.
