Subject: futexes: Still infinite loop in get_futex_key() in 2.6.31-rc4

We have a problem with infinitely running processes on kernels at least
since 2.6.29.4. It happens on a loaded machine after running for a
couple of days, that a "ps ax" seems to get stuck in get_futex_key while
exiting. Sadly your patch does not fix it as I hoped from the
description, maybe the following tracebacks taken a couple of minutes
apart from the same process can help in identifying some further bug
here:
