>From fa928cdd6b5e032006f100f9689a5a4167c086e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manfred Spraul Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:08:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipc/sem.c: Fully initialize sem_array before making it visible ipc_addid() makes a new ipc identifier visible to everyone. New objects start as locked, so that the caller can complete the initialization after the call. Within struct sem_array, at least sma->sem_base and sma->sem_nsems are accessed without any locks, therefore this approach doesn't work. Thus: Move the ipc_addid() to the end of the initialization.
