    Upstream is a bit of a fuzzy statement ;-) It might be in -next, but it's not in Linus' tree or Andrew's -mm tree or else my recent patches would have conflicted. And in fact, upon further reflection, I think maybe that particular test could use being split into two distinct tests. One for wrapping the byte counter, which would return -ENOMEM, and one for exceeding RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE which would return -EPERM (not sure if that's right, I would have to poke around elsewhere, but it seems a better response when you are violating a ulimit than nomem to me anyway).
