From 68aa0a206a7a2dd8655a50b36e8274eb87b84544 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nadia Derbey Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 22:46:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipc: restore MSGPOOL original value When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/) I changed the MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size in bytes). But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the ABI. So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes. Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.
