commit b52da4054ee0bf9ecb44996f2c83236ff50b3812 upstream
This patch required quite a bit of work to backport due to a number
of unrelated changes that do not make sense to backport. This has
been run against my test suite and passes all tests.
The limit on the number of user messages had a number of issues,
improper counting in some cases and a use after free.
Restructure how this is all done to handle more in the receive message
allocation routine, so all refcouting and user message limit counts
are done in that routine. It's a lot cleaner and safer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
