Subject: [PATCH 3.12 014/155] sparc: semtimedop() unreachable due to comparison error
From: Rob Gardner <rob.gardner@...cle.com>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 53eb2516972b8c4628651dfcb926cb9ef8b2864a ]
A bug was reported that the semtimedop() system call was always
failing eith ENOSYS.
Since SEMCTL is defined as 3, and SEMTIMEDOP is defined as 4,
the comparison "call <= SEMCTL" will always prevent SEMTIMEDOP
from getting through to the semaphore ops switch statement.
This is corrected by changing the comparison to "call <= SEMTIMEDOP".
