Subject: RE: [PATCH] futex: bugfix for futex-key conflict when futex use hugepage

Hi,

The futex-keys of processes share futex determined by page-offset,
mapping-host, and mapping-index of the user space address. User
appications using hugepage for futex may lead to futex-key conflict.

Assume there are two or more futexes in diffrent normal pages of the
hugepage, and each futex has the same offset in its normal page,
causing all the futexes have the same futex-key.


Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. The 1st thread map a file of hugetlbfs, and use the return address
as the 1st mutex's address, and use the return address with PAGE_SIZE
added as the 2nd mutex's address.
2. The 1st thread initialize the two mutexes with pshared attribute,
and lock the two mutexes.
3. The 1st thread create the 2nd thread, and the 2nd thread block on
the 1st mutex.
4. The 1st thread create the 3rd thread, and the 3rd thread block on
the 2nd mutex.
5. The 1st thread unlock the 2nd mutex, the 3rd thread cannot take
the 2nd mutex, and may block forever.
