commit 2195d2818c37bdf263865f1e9effccdd9fc5f9d4 upstream.

My 353d5c30c666580347515da609dd74a2b8e9b828 "mm: fix hugetlb bug due to
user_shm_unlock call" broke the CONFIG_SYSVIPC !CONFIG_MMU build of both
2.6.31 and 2.6.30.6: "undefined reference to `user_shm_unlock'".

gcc didn't understand my comment! so couldn't figure out to optimize
away user_shm_unlock() from the error path in the hugetlb-less case, as
it does elsewhere.  Help it to do so, in a language it understands.

<content type='text'>
2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194c21c8fdef840989d0d7b742bb5d4bc removed
user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the
user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().

In detail:
Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock()
is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is
called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following
atomic_dec_and_lock(&amp;up-&gt;__count) in free_uid() is executed and if
up-&gt;__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled.

Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set.
However, the ref counter up-&gt;__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and
the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live
references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of
shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set.

Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the
time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time
of hugetlb_file_setup().  And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path,
which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

This patch fixes an imbalance message as reported by Sanchin Sant.
As we don't need to measure the message queue, just increment the
counters.

31a985f "ipc: use __ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION in ipc/util.h" would
choose the implementation of ipc_parse_version() based on a symbol
defined in &lt;asm/unistd.h&gt;.

But it failed to also include this header and thus broke
IPC_64-passing 32-bit userspace because the flag wasn't masked out
properly anymore and the command not understood.

Include &lt;linux/unistd.h&gt; to give the architecture a chance to ask for
the no-no-op ipc_parse_version().
