From 66470b18179f8839a62b4c20ffd3903a4025fe90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:34:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipc/shm: do not use ipc_rcu_free() Avoid using ipc_rcu_free, since it just re-finds the original structure pointer. For the pre-list-init failure path, there is no RCU needed, since it was just allocated. It can be directly freed.
