The test is for the total bytes allocated, and the RLIMIT is for bytes allocated. This can happen on one file or on the hundredth file. It isn't a file error, it's a memory error and should remain such. If you want to accurately return the right error, then you need new_inode() to return an ERR_PTR(EMFILE) in the case that the number of message queues in the namespace is exceeded and propagate that back up, but as mqueue_get_inode() really only checks memory issues, not queue count issues, the only return it should generate is ENOMEM.-- Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> GPG KeyID: CFBFF194
