+[fixed differently in 6062a8dc0517bce23e3c2f7d2fea5e22411269a3 upstream.]
+
+In older kernels (before v3.10) ipc_rcu_hdr->refcount was non-atomic int.
+There was possuble double-free bug: do_msgsnd() calls ipc_rcu_putref() under
+msq->q_perm->lock and RCU, while freequeue() calls it while it holds only
+'rw_mutex', so there is no sinchronization between them. Two function
+decrements '2' non-atomically, they both can get '0' as result.
+
+do_msgsnd()                                    freequeue()
+
+msq = msg_lock_check(ns, msqid);
+...
+ipc_rcu_getref(msq);
+msg_unlock(msq);
+schedule();
+                                               (caller locks spinlock)
+                                               expunge_all(msq, -EIDRM);
+                                               ss_wakeup(&msq->q_senders, 1);
+                                               msg_rmid(ns, msq);
+                                               msg_unlock(msq);
+ipc_lock_by_ptr(&msq->q_perm);
+ipc_rcu_putref(msq);                           ipc_rcu_putref(msq);
+< both may get get --(...)->refcount == 0 >
+
+This patch locks ipc_lock and RCU around ipc_rcu_putref in freequeue.
+( RCU protects memory for spin_unlock() )
+
+Similar bugs might be in other users of ipc_rcu_putref().
+
+In the mainline this has been fixed in v3.10 indirectly in commmit
+6062a8dc0517bce23e3c2f7d2fea5e22411269a3
+("ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop") by Rik van Riel.
+That commit optimized locking and converted refcount into atomic.
+
+I'm not sure that anybody should care about this bug: it's very-very unlikely
+and no longer exists in actual mainline. I've found this just by looking into
+the code, probably this never happens in real life.
