Vineet, could you try to move the test for free space after ipc_lock?
I.e. the lock must not get dropped between testing for free space and
enqueueing the messages.
Hmm, the code movement is not trivial. I broke even the simplest of cases (patch
attached). This includes the additional change which Linus/Davidlohr had asked for.
The attached patch should work. Could you try it?
