      pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failure · 314a8ad0
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      "case 0" in free_pid() assumes that disable_pid_allocation() should
clear PIDNS_HASH_ADDING before the last pid goes away.

However this doesn't happen if the first fork() fails to create the
child reaper which should call disable_pid_allocation().

      ipc,msg: prevent race with rmid in msgsnd,msgrcv · 4271b05a
      Davidlohr Bueso authored 
      This fixes a race in both msgrcv() and msgsnd() between finding the msg
and actually dealing with the queue, as another thread can delete shmid
underneath us if we are preempted before acquiring the
kern_ipc_perm.lock.

Manfred illustrates this nicely:

Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after

    msq = msq_obtain_object_check(ns, msqid)

in do_msgrcv().  The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock().

Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID.  When the first task is
resumed, then it will happily wait for messages on a deleted queue.

Fix this by checking for if the queue has been deleted after taking the
lock.

      ipc/sem.c: update sem_otime for all operations · 0e8c6656
      Manfred Spraul authored 
      In commit 0a2b9d4c ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the
spinlock section"), the update of semaphore's sem_otime(last semop time)
was moved to one central position (do_smart_update).

But since do_smart_update() is only called for operations that modify
the array, this means that wait-for-zero semops do not update sem_otime
anymore.

The fix is simple:
Non-alter operations must update sem_otime.
