ipc/msg.c: Fix lost wakeup in msgsnd().
commit bebcb928c820d0ee83aca4b192adc195e43e66a2 upstream.
The check if the queue is full and adding current to the wait queue of
pending msgsnd() operations (ss_add()) must be atomic.
Otherwise:
- the thread that performs msgsnd() finds a full queue and decides to
sleep.
- the thread that performs msgrcv() first reads all messages from the
queue and then sleeps, because the queue is empty.
- the msgrcv() calls do not perform any wakeups, because the msgsnd()
task has not yet called ss_add().
- then the msgsnd()-thread first calls ss_add() and then sleeps.
Net result: msgsnd() and msgrcv() both sleep forever.
Observed with msgctl08 from ltp with a preemptible kernel.
Fix: Call ipc_lock_object() before performing the check.
The patch also moves security_msg_queue_msgsnd() under ipc_lock_object:
- msgctl(IPC_SET) explicitely mentions that it tries to expunge any
pending operations that are not allowed anymore with the new
permissions. If security_msg_queue_msgsnd() is called without locks,
then there might be races.
- it makes the patch much simpler.
