The patch titled
Subject: ipc,shm: correct error return value in shmctl (SHM_UNLOCK)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ipcshm-correct-error-return-value-in-shmctl-shm_unlock.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Jesper Nilsson <[email protected]>
Subject: ipc,shm: correct error return value in shmctl (SHM_UNLOCK)
2caacaa82a51b78 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmctl")
restructured the ipc shm to shorten critical region, but introduced a path
where the return value could be -EPERM, even if the operation actually was
performed.
Before the commit, the err return value was reset by the return value from
security_shm_shmctl() after the if (!ns_capable(...)) statement.
Now, we still exit the if statement with err set to -EPERM, and in the
case of SHM_UNLOCK, it is not reset at all, and used as the return value
from shmctl.
To fix this, we only set err when errors occur, leaving the fallthrough
case alone.
