From 79ccf0f8c8e04e8b9eda6645ba0f63b0915a3075 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:26:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipc,shm: shorten critical region in shmctl_down 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.
