Subject: [patch 1/3] ipc: rename IPCMNI to IPCMNI_MAX
Hi,
Just a couple of small IPC patches I have, I wonder if you could
comment on or merge?
--
The IPCMNI limit is different from the other MNI limits. It is not exposed
to userspace, it is not tunable via sysctl -- it is a hard limit. Rename it
to IPCMNI_MAX, to signify it is a maximum rather than default value.
It is an internal value tied to IPC sequence numbering, so move it into
ipc/util.h.
