3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx> commit 15724ecb7e9bab35fc694c666ad563adba820cc3 upstream. Instead of holding the ipc lock for the entire function, use the ipcctl_pre_down_nolock and only acquire the lock for specific commands: RMID and SET.
