The patch titled
Subject: ipc: move rcu lock out of ipc_addid
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ipc-move-rcu-lock-out-of-ipc_addid.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>
Subject: ipc: move rcu lock out of ipc_addid
This patchset continues the work that began in the sysv ipc semaphore
scaling series: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546
Just like semaphores used to be, sysv shared memory and msg queues also
abuse the ipc lock, unnecessarily holding it for operations such as
permission and security checks. This patchset mostly deals with mqueues,
and while shared mem can be done in a very similar way, I want to get
these patches out in the open first. It also does some pending cleanups,
mostly focused on the two level locking we have in ipc code, taking care
of ipc_addid() and ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still
functions that need to be updated as well.
This patch:
Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock.
This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and
newqueue(). For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the
rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock
functions. The next patch will deal with the open coded locking for
->perm.lock
