[PATCH -next 0/5] ipc/sem: semop(2) improvements

[Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>]

Hi,

Here are a few updates around the semop syscall handling that I noticed while
reviewing Manfred's simple vs complex ops fixes. Changes are on top of -next,
which means that Manfred's pending patches to ipc/sem.c that remove the redundant
barrier(s) would probably have to be rebased.

The patchset has survived the following testscases:
- ltp
- ipcsemtest (https://github.com/manfred-colorfu/ipcsemtest)
- ipcscale (https://github.com/manfred-colorfu/ipcscale)

Details are in each individual patch. Please consider for v4.9.

Thanks!

Davidlohr Bueso (5):
  ipc/sem: do not call wake_sem_queue_do() prematurely
  ipc/sem: rework task wakeups
  ipc/sem: optimize perform_atomic_semop()
  ipc/sem: explicitly inline check_restart
  ipc/sem: use proper list api for pending_list wakeups
