    futexes: Fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() on huge page · ce2ae53b
    Sonny Rao authored
    
    
    get_futex_key() can infinitely loop if it is called on a
    virtual address that is within a huge page but not aligned to
    the beginning of that page.  The call to get_user_pages_fast
    will return the struct page for a sub-page within the huge page
    and the check for page->mapping will always fail.
    
    The fix is to call compound_head on the page before checking
    that it's mapped.
