What do you use auto_msgmni for?
We disable it to check that criu restores a value of the msgmni sysctl correctly.

Thanks for the link, if I see it right, my patch would break your code:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=140782863804950

It removes auto_msgmni - and
What do you think, should I leave auto_msgmni as a stale variable, perhaps with a pr_info() that it doesn't have any effect?
