During a hash resize operation the new private hash is stored in
mm_struct::futex_phash_new if the current hash can not be immediately
replaced.
The new hash must not be copied during fork() into the new task. Doing
so will lead to a double-free of the memory by the two tasks.
Initialize the mm_struct::futex_phash_new during fork().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
