    Agreed.

    The rename doesn't make it more obvious either I don't think. Since
    the only user of ipc_lock() is shm, how about we just move the
    logic in there. Sure, we'd now have an 'ipc_unlock()' counter part,
    but that's just ipc_unlock_object + rcu unlock, so leaving it as is
    wouldn't be the end of the world methinks. Unlike the ipc_lock(),
    the unlocking is also used by util.c.

    Thanks.

    [PATCH] ipc: drop ipc_lock()

    ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object
    pointer given an id number.

    There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence
    counter part of the id number, other functions do not check
    the sequence counter.

    The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is
    - ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter
    - ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter

    ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence
    counter value, but this is not obvious from the function name.

    Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we
    can simply move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the
    function altogether.
