From 05603c44a7627793219b0bd9a7b236099dc9cd9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:26:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipc: document general ipc locking scheme As suggested by Andrew, add a generic initial locking scheme used throughout all sysv ipc mechanisms. Documenting the ids rwsem, how rcu can be enough to do the initial checks and when to actually acquire the kern_ipc_perm.lock spinlock. I found that adding it to util.c was generic enough.
