ipc/sem: separate wait-for-zero and alter tasks into seperate queues
commit 1a82e9e1d0f1b45f47a97c9e2349020536ff8987 upstream. Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the semaphore values. Advantages: - Simpler logic in check_restart(). - Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0. - wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9 Signed-off-by: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
