[ 34/69] ipc,msg: shorten critical region in msgctl_down

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 16 2013 - 14:19:42 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>

commit 15724ecb7e9bab35fc694c666ad563adba820cc3 upstream.

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.
