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

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
