Here's a bug:

--- a/ipc/util.c~ipc-integrate-ipc_checkid-into-ipc_lock-fix-2
+++ a/ipc/util.c
@@ -691,7 +691,7 @@ struct kern_ipc_perm *ipc_lock(struct ip
 		rcu_read_unlock();
 		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
 	}
-
+	rcu_read_unlock();
 	return out;
 }
 
_

but it still doesn't fix it.

Nadia, please review Documentation/SubmitChecklist.  It contains stuff
