Subject: [PATCH] simplify mqueue_inode_info->messages allocation
Date: Tue, 4 May 2004 18:06:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040504180622.F21045@build.pdx.osdl.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20040504174713.E21045@build.pdx.osdl.net>; from chrisw@osdl.org on Tue, May 04, 2004 at 05:47:13PM -0700

Currently, if a user creates an mqueue and passes an mq_attr, the
info->messages will be created twice (and the extra one is properly
freed).  This patch simply delays the allocation so that it only ever
happens once.  The relevant mq_attr data is passed to lower levels via
the dentry->d_fsdata fs private data.  This also helps isolate the areas
we'd need to touch to do rlimits on mqueues.
