Subject[PATCH 3.8 050/166] futex: fix handling of read-only-mapped hugepages
Date
3.8.13.16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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.
