Subject: [PATCH] selftests/ipc: Use IPC_STAT to get queue information
Date: Sun,  1 Nov 2026 22:48:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101194814.188536-1-asiyee994@gmail.com> (raw)

dump_queue() finds the message queue's stats by brute-forcing kernel
indexes 0..255 with MSG_STAT and comparing the returned identifier with
msgque->msq_id. This misses queues whose index is 256 or larger, and if
no match is found the loop ends and the code goes on using a stale
or uninitialized struct msqid_ds.

The identifier is already known, so query it directly with IPC_STAT.
This removes the loop and reports a failure if the queue cannot be
queried.
