[PATCH 05/20] ipc/sem: Do not use ipc_rcu_free()

From: Manfred Spraul
Date: Thu May 25 2017 - 14:51:42 EST


From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Avoid using ipc_rcu_free, since it just re-finds the original structure
pointer. For the pre-list-init failure path, there is no RCU needed,
since it was just allocated. It can be directly freed.
