Please prefer to include the subsystem identifier in the patch title. ie:

[patch] ipc: restore MSGPOOL original value

It saves me from having to do it ;)

Sorry for that.

Hi,

When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/), I have changed the
MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size in
bytes).

But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the ABI.
So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes.
Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.

This patch applies to 2.6.26-rc2-mm1.


But it is needed in 2.6.26, yes?


Yes.

Regards,
Nadia
