From 73b29505c36eeb4751eccad41f6aad78562521f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 15:22:00 -0700 Subject: ipc: sem_putref() does not need the semaphore lock any more ipc_rcu_putref() uses atomics for the refcount, and the games to lock and unlock the semaphore just to try to keep the reference counting working are no longer useful.
