The patch titled
IPC: fix error check in all new xxx_lock() and xxx_exit_ns() functions
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ipc-fix-error-check-in-all-new-xxx_lock-and.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: IPC: fix error check in all new xxx_lock() and xxx_exit_ns() functions
From: Pierre Peiffer <pierre.peiffer@xxxxxxxx>
In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we
use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check.
But ipc_lock may return a errcode. The use of this errcode in
container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this.
And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct
kern_ipc_per'...
Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these
container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the
errcode isn't changed then. But in the general case, we can't count on
this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct
this.
Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct. But, as pointed by
Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in
all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal...
