The patch titled Subject: ipc,shm: move BUG_ON check into shm_lock has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ipcshm-move-bug_on-check-into-shm_lock.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ipc,shm: move BUG_ON check into shm_lock Upon every shm_lock call, we BUG_ON if an error was returned, indicating racing either in idr or in shm_destroy. Move this logic into the locking.
