From f269f40ad5aeee229ed70044926f44318abe41ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manfred Spraul Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2013 16:01:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipc/sem.c: always use only one queue for alter operations There are two places that can contain alter operations: - the global queue: sma->pending_alter - the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter. Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over simple ops. The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting operation has the highest priority. This is done by using only one queue: - if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used. - otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used. As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more goto logic.
