selftests/ipc: Fix test failure seen after initial test run
After successfully running the IPC msgque test once, subsequent runs result in a test failure: $ sudo ./run_kselftest.sh TAP version 13 1..1 # selftests: ipc: msgque # Failed to get stats for IPC queue with id 0 # Failed to dump queue: -22 # Bail out! # # Pass 0 Fail 0 Xfail 0 Xpass 0 Skip 0 Error 0 not ok 1 selftests: ipc: msgque # exit=1 The dump_queue() function loops through the possible message queue index values using calls to msgctl(kern_id, MSG_STAT, ...) where kern_id represents the index value. The first time the test is ran, the initial index value of 0 is valid and the test is able to complete. The index value of 0 is not valid in subsequent test runs and the loop attempts to try index values of 1, 2, 3, and so on until a valid index value is found that corresponds to the message queue created earlier in the test. The msgctl() syscall returns -1 and sets errno to EINVAL when invalid index values are used. The test failure is caused by incorrectly comparing errno to -EINVAL when cycling through possible index values. Fix invalid test failures on subsequent runs of the msgque test by correctly comparing errno values to a non-negated EINVAL.
