Subject: ipc: call idr_find() without locking in ipc_lock()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~317
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=983bfb7db303cfde56ae5bbf4e0f2f46e38c9576;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

ipc: call idr_find() without locking in ipc_lock()

Call idr_find() locklessly from ipc_lock(), since the idr tree is now RCU
protected.
