[LTP] Some fix advice about test case kernel/syscalls/ipc/msgctl/msgctl11.c

[Jin Li]

Hi all

I met the same issue mentioned in the post ltp-list mails as follows.

And I notice that the test will still fail with

"Not enough free pids" once the memory is lager than 4G.

Does any one has plan to fix it or give it a walk around ?

If not, I want to fix it with the update of maximum pid number

once the memory is over 4G.

Willing to get your advice.

Jin

I changed MSGMNI in /proc to below 3000 and test passed.

Thanks
