  For now i have rebuilt the kernel turning on the config items you
  suggested and some other kernel hacking and locking debug configs.
  I tested this by a shell script concurrently writing the mqueue sysctl
  files and checking the value. Do you mean that i should add some test code in this patch?
  Can you give some examples for this tests code?

  for this patch, retire_mq_sysctls() is called by free_ipc_ns(), and free_ipc_ns() is 
  triggered by schedule_work(&free_ipc_work) in kthread context.
  Can you give some comments on the chance this code running on rcu
  context?
