[PATCH v2 2/3] sysctl: Allow to change limits for posix messages queues

From: Alexey Gladkov
Date: Tue Sep 20 2022 - 14:09:29 EST


All parameters of posix messages queues (queues_max/msg_max/msgsize_max)
end up being limited by RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE. The code in mqueue_get_inode is
where that limiting happens.

The RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is bound to the user namespace and is counted
hierarchically.

We can allow root in the user namespace to modify the posix messages
queues parameters.
