If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mikael Pettersson commit 5ecb01cfdf96c5f465192bdb2a4fd4a61a24c6cc upstream. This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(), where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented only once, causing the backing object to not be released. If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system, this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan, which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this, see . The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b7075bd7ec3881141bb3629da58f88dab "[PATCH] futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key() also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning. Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected: the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(), but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi(). The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31 this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.
