[PATCH] ipc: Save the ipc namespace while reading proc files.

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Tue Feb 06 2007 - 14:32:00 EST



The problem we were assuming that current->nsproxy->ipc_ns would never
change while someone has our file in /proc/sysvipc/ file open. Given
that this can change with both unshare and by passing the file
descriptor to another process that assumption is occasionally wrong.

Therefore this patch causes /proc/sysvipc/* to cache the namespace
and increment it's count when we open the file and to decrement the
count when we close the file, ensuring consistent operation with
no surprises.
