Subject: [PATCH -mm] ipc,sem: fix locking in semctl_main
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:29:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130423122905.33ac0d3c@annuminas.surriel.com> (raw)
Andrew, here is the patch I promised :)
Everywhere else in the code, we check sma->sem_perm.deleted under
the semaphore array lock, so we should do teh same here.
The easy fix is to simply not drop and re-take the lock, but keep
it locked.
This patch can be folded into ipcsem-fine-grained-locking-for-semtimedop.patch
