Subject: [PATCH] minor bug in ipc/sem.c
Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2001 17:03:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A9BCFE8.D3FB1AAE@colorfullife.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 249 bytes --]

try_atomic_semop() corrupts the process id associated with a semaphore
if a semaphore operation with semval==0 (i.e. wait until the semaphore
value becomes zero) blocks.

I've attached a patch against 2.4.2-ac4, it also applies to 2.4.2
