[GIT PULL 01/19 for v7.4] ipc misc

From: Christian Brauner

Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 06:14:58 EST


Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This fixes a leak in mqueue. A task in another thread group sharing the
file table could register an mq_notify() and exit without closing the
queue. The registration was never torn down and pinned the notification
skb, the netlink socket, a pid reference and a user namespace reference
forever. Stale registrations are released on inode eviction now.

/* Testing */

No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
