From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 07a46ed27dc6344de831a450df82336270a157a9 upstream. Andrew Morton noted http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141104142027.a7a0d010772d84560b445f59@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx that the shmdt uses inode->i_size outside of i_mutex being held. There is one more case in shm.c in shm_destroy(). This converts both users over to use i_size_read().
