The patch titled Subject: ipc: move atomic_set() to where it is needed has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ipc-move-atomic_set-to-where-it-is-needed.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/ipc-move-atomic_set-to-where-it-is-needed.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/ipc-move-atomic_set-to-where-it-is-needed.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ipc: move atomic_set() to where it is needed Only after ipc_addid() has succeeded will refcounting be used, so move initialization into ipc_addid() and remove from open-coded *_alloc() routines.
