Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ipc/sem.c: Fix missing wakeups in do_smart_update_queue()
Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 11:08:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369559335-13491-2-git-send-email-manfred@colorfullife.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1369559335-13491-1-git-send-email-manfred@colorfullife.com>

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation
(semop, semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array.
It must check which of the sleeping tasks can proceed.

do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups:
- if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues
  must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops
- if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue
  must be scanned again

And:
- the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global
  queue is not required: If the global queue is empty, then
  it doesn't need to be scanned - regardless of the reason
  for calling do_smart_update_queue()

The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero
operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as
possible.
Avoiding unnecessary scans is implemented in the following patches.
