From 90621c40cc4ab7b0a414311ce37e7cc7173403b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Darren Hart Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:43:21 -0800 Subject: futex: catch certain assymetric (get|put)_futex_key calls Impact: add debug check Following up on my previous key reference accounting patches, this patch will catch puts on keys that haven't been "got". This won't catch nested get/put mismatches though. Build and boot tested, with minimal desktop activity and a run of the open_posix_testsuite in LTP for testing. No warnings logged.
