[PATCH 1/5] ipc/sem: do not call wake_sem_queue_do() prematurely

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Mon Sep 12 2016 - 07:54:06 EST


... as this call should obviously be paired with its _prepare()
counterpart. At least whenever possible, as there is no harm in
calling it bogusly as we do now in a few places. Immediate error
semop(2) paths that are far from ever having the task block can
be simplified and avoid a few unnecessary loads on their way out
of the call as it is not deeply nested.
