[08/30] futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com>

commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d upstream.

Currently, futexes have two problem:

A) The current futex code doesn't handle private file mappings properly.

get_futex_key() uses PageAnon() to distinguish file and
anon, which can cause the following bad scenario:

  1) thread-A call futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAIT), it
     sleeps on file mapping object.
  2) thread-B writes a variable and it makes it cow.
  3) thread-B calls futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAKE), it
     wakes up blocked thread on the anonymous page. (but it's nothing)

B) Current futex code doesn't handle zero page properly.

Read mode get_user_pages() can return zero page, but current
futex code doesn't handle it at all. Then, zero page makes
infinite loop internally.

The solution is to use write mode get_user_page() always for
page lookup. It prevents the lookup of both file page of private
mappings and zero page.

Performance concerns:

Probaly very little, because glibc always initialize variables
for futex before to call futex(). It means glibc users never see
the overhead of this patch.

Compatibility concerns:

This patch has few compatibility issues. After this patch,
FUTEX_WAIT require writable access to futex variables (read-only
mappings makes EFAULT). But practically it's not a problem,
glibc always initalizes variables for futexes explicitly - nobody
uses read-only mappings.
