This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled futex: fix handling of read-only-mapped hugepages to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From e8b47c33fa9e66c120daa58fd287192c47a0378d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:38:42 -0800 Subject: futex: fix handling of read-only-mapped hugepages commit f12d5bfceb7e1f9051563381ec047f7f13956c3c upstream. The hugepage code had the exact same bug that regular pages had in commit 7485d0d3758e ("futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()"). The regular page case was fixed by commit 9ea71503a8ed ("futex: Fix regression with read only mappings"), but the transparent hugepage case (added in a5b338f2b0b1: "thp: update futex compound knowledge") case remained broken. Found by Dave Jones and his trinity tool.
