[PATCH 2/6] ipc: reorganize initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq

From: Manfred Spraul
Date: Thu Jul 05 2018 - 01:59:51 EST


ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.seq after having called
ipc_idr_alloc().

Thus a parallel semop() or msgrcv() that uses ipc_obtain_object_check()
may see an uninitialized value.

The patch moves the initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq before the
calls of ipc_idr_alloc().

Notes:
1) This patch has a user space visible side effect:
If /proc/sys/kernel/*_next_id is used (i.e.: checkpoint/restore) and
if semget()/msgget()/shmget() fails in the final step of adding the id
to the rhash tree, then .._next_id is cleared. Before the patch, is
remained unmodified.

There is no change of the behavior after a successful ..get() call:
It always clears .._next_id, there is no impact to non checkpoint/restore
code as that code does not use .._next_id.

2) The patch correctly documents that after a call to ipc_idr_alloc(),
the full tear-down sequence must be used. The callers of ipc_addid()
do not fullfill that, i.e. more bugfixes are required.
