Subject: [PATCH] cleanup of ipc/msg.c
Date: Sun, 04 Jul 2004 00:09:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40E72EAE.2060806@colorfullife.com> (raw)
Hi,
Attached is a cleanup of the main loops in sys_msgrcv and sys_msgsnd,
based on ipc_lock_by_ptr(). Most backward gotos are gone, instead normal
"for(;;)" loops until a suitable message is found.
Additionally, the patch
- reintroduces lockless receive, same implementation as in ipc/mqueue.c.
- fixes a rare BUG(): if queue settings are changed with
msgctl(,IPC_SET,) while a thread is sleeping in msgrcv() and the queue
is then destroyed with msgctl(,IPC_RMID,) before the sleeping thread
noticed the new configuration, then the BUG() is line 764 would trigger.
Andrew, could you add it to -mm? If it's too large then I'll split out
the bugfix, it's a oneliner [remove the BUG()].
