This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open first. It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be updated as well. This patch: Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock. This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and newqueue(). For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock functions. The next patch will deal with the open coded locking for ->perm.lock Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
