From 6546bc4279241e8fa432de1bb63a4f6f791fd669 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nadia Derbey Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:00:45 -0700 Subject: ipc: re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing msgmni if set to negative The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain. A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism: notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already registered. With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states changes in procfs.
