2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Dean Nelson <[email protected]> commit 44e2aa937e698ea95dd86b2a4fabd734ef2c76db upstream. Add missing spin_lock() of the page_table_lock before an error return in hugetlb_cow(). Callers of hugtelb_cow() expect it to be held upon return.
