Most fixes have gone into master. There's still at least one in the
pipe, ipc/sem.c: synchronize semop and semctl with IPC_RMID, and I
_think_ there's still one open issue.
<quoting Manfred>
And now new:
1) ipc/namespace.c:
free_ipcs() still assumes the "old style" free calls:
rcu_lock and ipc_lock dropped within the callback.
freeary() was converted - but free_ipcs was not updated.
Thus:
Closing a namespace with sem arrays and threads that are waiting
on
the array with semtimedop() and bad timing can deadlock the semtimedop
thread.
(i.e.: spin_lock() waiting forever).

3.10,11-stable need the lot.
