Subject: [PATCH -next 0/7] ipc: some misc updates & optimizations

A few updates to the ipc code, mostly some very needed cleanups (yes, we still
have loads more to do, but it's a start). Nothing particularly interesting,
except perhaps for the last two patches, which include a locking optimization
and barrier documentation for message queues. Absolutely no functional changes.

Applies on top of linux-next +  Manfred's 'whitespace cleanup' patch. Tested
with LTP.

Thanks!

Davidlohr Bueso (7):
  ipc: standardize code comments
  ipc: remove braces for single statements
  ipc: remove useless return statement
  ipc: simplify sysvipc_proc_open return
  ipc: delete seq_max field in struct ipc_ids
  ipc: share ids rwsem when possible in ipcget_public
  ipc,msg: document barriers
