[patch 41/96] ipc/shm: avoid ipc_rcu_alloc()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ipc/shm: avoid ipc_rcu_alloc()

Instead of using ipc_rcu_alloc() which only performs the refcount bump,
open code it.  This also allows for shmid_kernel structure layout to be
randomized in the future.
