Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2009 23:57:12 +0200 From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@...orfullife.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Pierre Peiffer <peifferp@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ipc/sem.c: optimize if semops fail This is the first of four patches that reduce the amount of scanning of the list of pending semaphore operations: Part 1: if try_atomic_semop failed, then no changes were applied. Thus no need to restart. Additionally, this patch correct an incorrect comment. The changes are from Nick Piggin, the patch is just splitted differently.
