[PATCH] fix SEM_UNDO with namespaces, take 2

From: Manfred Spraul
Date: Sun Apr 06 2008 - 12:26:23 EST


Hi,

below is the second attempt to fix SEM_UNDO + unshare():
lookup_undo (in ipc/sem.c) is not namespace-aware, thus all entries in sysvsem.undo_list must be from the same namespace.
The patch enforces that by detaching the current thread from sysvsem.undo_list in switch_task_namespaces() if the ipc namespace is changed.

The patch boots and passes simple sysvsem+unshare tests.
