The patch titled Subject: ipc: introduce lockless pre_down ipcctl has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ipc-introduce-lockless-pre_down-ipcctl.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx> Subject: ipc: introduce lockless pre_down ipcctl Various forms of ipc use ipcctl_pre_down() to retrieve an ipc object and check permissions, mostly for IPC_RMID and IPC_SET commands. Introduce ipcctl_pre_down_nolock(), a lockless version of this function. The locking version is retained, yet modified to call the nolock version without affecting its semantics, thus transparent to all ipc callers.
