Subject: [patch 16/26] FUTEX: Restore the dropped ERSCH fix
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 21:33:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070731043304.GQ3975@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070731043047.GA3975@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: futex-restore-the-dropped-ersch-fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1221 bytes --]

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

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

The return value of futex_find_get_task() needs to be -ESRCH in case
that the search fails. This was part of the original futex fixes and 
got accidentally dropped, when the futex-tidy-up patch was split out.

Results in a NULL pointer dereference in case the search fails.

Restore it.
