Hi,
I report a bug of the msgctl02 testcase and a patch for it.
When you set /proc/sys/kernel/msgmnb to a value larger than 65536,
msgctl02 always results FAIL because of a bug itself.
An example when /proc/sys/kernel/msgmnb == 4194304,
# cd ./testcases/kernel/syscalls/ipc/msgctl
# ./msgctl02
msgctl02 1 FAIL : qs_buf.msg_qbytes value is not expected
msgctl02 0 INFO : expected - 65535, received - 4194303
#
This is because the variable "new_bytes" storing "expected" value above
is defined as "unsigned short" type and cannot hold a value
larger than 65535. It should be "msglen_t" type as same as the
member msg_qnum of struct msqid_ds, but msg_qnum seems to be declared
as "unsigned long int" type on some architecture like ia64,
I recommend you to use "unsigned long int" for new_bytes.
