[PATCH v2 0/1] MR425: ntdll: Do not use find_subheap() to find the subheap corresponding to an uncommitted region.

[Zebediah Figura (＠zfigura)]

The commit end of a subheap may be equal to the beginning of another subheap, in
which case find_subheap() will return that one, and we may effectively skip
backwards in the subheap list.

---

There may be a more architecturally palatable way to solve this problem, but
hopefully this is enough to at least demonstrate it.

[PATCH v2 1/1] ntdll: Do not use find_subheap() to find the subheap corresponding to an uncommitted region.

From: Zebediah Figura <zfigura(a)codeweavers.com>

The commit end of a subheap may be equal to the beginning of another subheap, in
which case find_subheap() will return that one, and we may effectively skip
backwards in the subheap list.

This fixes a hang on starting or loading a game with Bloodrayne: Terminal Cut.

[PATCH v2 1/1] ntdll: Do not use find_subheap() to find the subheap corresponding to an uncommitted region.

[Zebediah Figura]

I didn't include a test with this because I don't think it's possible to 
reliably trigger the condition. It relies on an allocated block 
stretching to the end of a subheap (which I think it's possible to make 
happen reliably, although it'd end up relying on internal heap details 
to some degree) but also on two subsequent subheaps being allocated to 
contiguous VM slices in reverse order.

I'm able to consistently trigger it (on 32-bit) with the attached diff 
to the heap tests, though.
