Davidlohr Bueso 370b262c89 ipc/sem: avoid idr tree lookup for interrupted semop
We can avoid the idr tree lookup (albeit possibly avoiding
idr_find_fast()) when being awoken in EINTR, as the semid will not
change in this context while blocked.  Use the sma pointer directly and
take the sem_lock, then re-check for RMID races.  We continue to
re-check the queue.status with the lock held such that we can detect
situations where we where are dealing with a spurious wakeup but another
task that holds the sem_lock updated the queue.status while we were
spinning for it.  Once we take the lock it obviously won't change again.

Being the only caller, get rid of sem_obtain_lock() altogether.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
