[PATCH] c/r: fix ipc scheduling while atomic - take 3

Wed Mar 3 15:06:44 PST 2010


Quoting Oren Laadan (orenl at cs.columbia.edu):
> This patch applies to the current head of ckpt-v19-dev.
> 
> While the previous fix was correct, it was incomplete in the sense that
> a similar problem exists during checkpoint. So here is a better attempt
> at fixing both.
> 
> The main idea is that holding the {shm,msg,sem}ids->rw_mutex is enough
> at checkpoint when calling checkpoint_fill_ipc_perms() because the data
> accessed is either immutable or protected against change with the mutex.
> For restart, the same argument as before works - we are the sole users
> of a new ipc-ns, and no unaothorized accessed is possible (still, in
> this version the code is a bit cleaner).

On my fedora 10 x86-64 partition with selinux enabled, all tests
(except futex - huh?) including the selinux tests pass.
