From a0d092fc2df845a43cc4847836818f49331d0a5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierre Peiffer Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:00:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] IPC/message queues: introduce msgctl_down Currently, sys_msgctl is not easy to read. This patch tries to improve that by introducing the msgctl_down function to handle all commands requiring the rwmutex to be taken in write mode (ie IPC_SET and IPC_RMID for now). It is the equivalent function of semctl_down for message queues. This greatly changes the readability of sys_msgctl and also harmonizes the way these commands are handled among all IPCs.
