Subject: [PATCH -next 0/4] sysvipc: ipc-key management improvements

Hi,

Here are a few improvements I spotted while eyeballing Guillaume's
rhashtable implementation for ipc keys. The first and fourth patches
are the interesting ones, the middle two are trivial.

Applies against today's -next.
Passes ltp ipc related testcases.

Thanks!

Davidlohr Bueso (4):
  sysvipc: unteach ids->next_id for !CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
  sysvipc: duplicate lock comments wrt ipc_addid()
  sysvipc: properly name ipc_addid() limit parameter
  sysvipc: make get_maxid O(1) again
