Verify whether the futex has waiters associated with kernel state. If it has, return -EINVAL. The state is corrupted already, so no point in cleaning it up. Subsequent calls will fail as well. Not our problem. [ tglx: Use futex_top_waiter() and explain why we do not need to try restoring the already corrupted user space state. ] Change-Id: I5591f89851d0698b9535a78a53bde694ade0c82b Signed-off-by: Darren Hart Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Will Drewry Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/kernel/futex.c b/kernel/futex.c index 553c383e9e34..578366668c82 100644 --- a/kernel/futex.c +++ b/kernel/futex.c @@ -748,10 +748,18 @@ retry: return -EDEADLK; /* - * Surprise - we got the lock.
