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.
