From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit e8577d1f0329d4842e8302e289fb2c22156abef4 upstream. ipc_addid() makes a new ipc identifier visible to everyone. New objects start as locked, so that the caller can complete the initialization after the call. Within struct sem_array, at least sma->sem_base and sma->sem_nsems are accessed without any locks, therefore this approach doesn't work. Thus: Move the ipc_addid() to the end of the initialization.
