Subject: [PATCH RFC] futex: Fix regression with read only mappings
commit 7485d0d3758e8e6491a5c9468114e74dc050785d (futexes: Remove rw
parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 introduced a user-mode
regression in that it additionally prevented futex operations on a
region within a read only memory mapped file. For example this breaks
workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a
futex within a read only shared mapping, and a writer processes that has
a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE.
This fixes the regression for futex operations that should be valid on
RO mappings by trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW
get_user_pages_fast() fails so as not to slow down the common path of
writable anonymous maps and bailing when we used the RO path on
anonymous memory.
Patch based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to only
allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

Interestingly this patch also allows doing a FUTEX_WAIT on a RO private
mapping. Where my tests on 2.6.18 show that this used to wait
indefinitely. Performing a FUTEX_WAIT on a RW private mapping waits
indefinitely in 2.6.18, 3.0.0, and with this patch applied. It is
unclear to me if this is a good thing or a bug.
