This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled futex: Don't include process MM in futex key on no-MMU to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: futex-don-t-include-process-mm-in-futex-key-on-no-mm.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4301f30ac42a567a4911a36ab8318851b5868d00 Author: Ben Wolsieffer <ben.wolsieffer@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 19 16:45:49 2023 -0400 futex: Don't include process MM in futex key on no-MMU [ Upstream commit c73801ae4f22b390228ebf471d55668e824198b6 ] On no-MMU, all futexes are treated as private because there is no need to map a virtual address to physical to match the futex across processes. This doesn't quite work though, because private futexes include the current process's mm_struct as part of their key. This makes it impossible for one process to wake up a shared futex being waited on in another process. Fix this bug by excluding the mm_struct from the key. With a single address space, the futex address is already a unique key.
