[Patch 2/4] ipc/mqueue: correct mq_attr_ok test
From: Doug Ledford
Date: Tue May 01 2012 - 15:08:28 EST
While working on the other parts of the mqueue stuff, I noticed that
the calculation for overflow in mq_attr_ok didn't actually match
reality (this is especially true since my last patch which changed
how we account memory slightly).
In particular, we used to test for overflow using:
msgs * msgsize + msgs * sizeof(struct msg_msg *)
That was never really correct because each message we allocate via
load_msg() is actually a struct msg_msg followed by the data for
the message (and if struct msg_msg + data exceeds PAGE_SIZE we end
up allocating struct msg_msgseg structs too, but accounting for them
would get really tedious, so let's ignore those...they're only a
pointer in size anyway). This patch updates the calculation to be
more accurate in regards to maximum possible memory consumption by the
mqueue.
