With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification\nroutine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc\nnamespace creation/ removal.\n\nWhen msgmni is changed from user space (i.e. value written to the proc\nfile), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it\nregistered back is to write a negative value into the proc file.
