Subject: [PATCH] pi-futex: Validate futex type instead of oopsing
X-Git-Tag: v3.12-rc1~34720
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06a9ec291b3aec9c7e36af0a10ad2b556bd7e84f;p=kernel%2Fkernel-generic.git

[PATCH] pi-futex: Validate futex type instead of oopsing

Calling futex_lock_pi is called with a reference to a non PI futex and
waiters exist already, lookup_pi_state() oopses due to pi_state == NULL.
Check this condition and return -EINVAL to userspace.
