Mel Gorman 23be7468e8 hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pages ... If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a page->mapping that will never exist. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details about the problem. This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is not on the LRU. This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.
