[PATCH v3 1/3] sysctl: Allow change system v ipc sysctls inside ipc namespace

[Alexey Gladkov]

Rootless containers are not allowed to modify kernel IPC parameters.

All default limits are set to such high values that in fact there are no
limits at all. All limits are not inherited and are initialized to
default values when a new ipc_namespace is created.

For new ipc_namespace:

size_t       ipc_ns.shm_ctlmax = SHMMAX; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24))
size_t       ipc_ns.shm_ctlall = SHMALL; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24))
int          ipc_ns.shm_ctlmni = IPCMNI; // (1 << 15)
int          ipc_ns.shm_rmid_forced = 0;
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmax = MSGMAX; // 8192
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmni = MSGMNI; // 32000
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmnb = MSGMNB; // 16384

The shm_tot (total amount of shared pages) has also ceased to be
global, it is located in ipc_namespace and is not inherited from
anywhere.

In such conditions, it cannot be said that these limits limit anything.
The real limiter for them is cgroups.

If we allow rootless containers to change these parameters, then it can
only be reduced.
