Subject: [PATCH] ipc,shm: Correct error return value in shmctl (SHM_UNLOCK)
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 11:44:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131120104411.GA15831@axis.com> (raw)

Commit 2caacaa82a51b78fc0c800e206473874094287ed restructured
the ipc shm to shorten critical region, but introduced a path
where the return value could be -EPERM, even if the operation
actually was performed.

Before the commit, the err return value was reset by the return value
from security_shm_shmctl() after the if (!ns_capable(...)) statement.

Now, we still exit the if statement with err set to -EPERM,
and in the case of SHM_UNLOCK, it is not reset at all,
and used as the return value from shmctl.

To fix this, we only set err when errors occur, leaving the
fallthrough case alone.
