[PATCH 06/20] ipc/shm: Do not use ipc_rcu_free()

Show all headers | View raw

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

Avoid using ipc_rcu_free, since it just re-finds the original structure
pointer. For the pre-list-init failure path, there is no RCU needed,
since it was just allocated. It can be directly freed.
