From 6e224f94597842c5eb17f1fc2208d20b6f7f7d49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manfred Spraul Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:46:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipc/sem.c: synchronize semop and semctl with IPC_RMID After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the array is still valid. - semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but should be ok: all lists are empty) - semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal - access memory after free. The patch also: - standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one function leave the function with the same approach. - unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be tested twice. Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the function uses "goto cleanup"). The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no additional test is required.
