Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ipc/mq: Do not vaild queue attributes default/ceiling value If the user pass attr as NULL
Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:39:41 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1376320182-2118-1-git-send-email-sasikanth.v19@gmail.com> (raw)

Kernel should not validate queue attributes default/ceiling value while
creating a mqueue, if user pass attr as NULL. Otherwise In worst case
If the validation fails then sys_mq_open returns -EINVAL/-EOVERFLOW
which will make user clueless about reason for the failure.
