From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 16 2013 - 14:10:45 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@xxxxxx>

commit c2c737a0461e61a34676bd0bd1bc1a70a1b4e396 upstream.

Similar to other system calls, acquire the kern_ipc_perm lock after doing
the initial permission and security checks.
