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. ] 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 --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
