CAP_IPC_OWNER and CAP_IPC_LOCK can be checked against current_user_ns(),
because the resource comes from current's own ipc namespace.setuid/setgid are to uids in own namespace, so again checks can be against
current_user_ns().Changelog:
Jan 11: Use task_ns_capable() in place of sched_capable().
Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank.
Jan 11: Clarify (hopefully) some logic in futex and sched.c
Feb 15: use ns_capable for ipc, not nsown_capable
Feb 23: let copy_ipcs handle setting ipc_ns->user_ns
Feb 23: pass ns down rather than taking it from current[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

clone_ipc_ns() is misnamed, it doesn't clone anything and doesn't use
passed parameter. Rename it.create_ipc_ns() will be used by C/R to create fresh ipcns.

Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
of CLONE_NEWIPC.Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock. When a user does
clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
mqueuefs superblock.Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
(see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount. Any
usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
namespace. Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
which the file was created. So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
/dev/mqueue".If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
the deceased ipc_ns:1.To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when
a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
it to 0 and freeing the ipcnsb) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
exiting.So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater

Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct.
The CONFIG_IPC_NS boolean and the ipc_namespace struct will serve both the
posix message queue namespaces and the SYSV ipc namespaces.The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3. After just this
patch, making a change to posix mqueue tunables always changes the values
in the initial ipc namespace.Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater

Introduce a notification mechanism that aims at recomputing msgmni each time
an ipc namespace is created or removed.The ipc namespace notifier chain already defined for memory hotplug management
is used for that purpose too.Each time a new ipc namespace is allocated or an existing ipc namespace is
removed, the ipcns notifier chain is notified. The callback routine for each
registered ipc namespace is then activated in order to recompute msgmni for
that namespace.Signed-off-by: Nadia Derbey

Introduce the registration of a callback routine that recomputes msg_ctlmni
upon memory add / remove.A single notifier block is registered in the hotplug memory chain for all the
ipc namespaces.Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own
notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace.Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its
notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in
the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_LOWMEM event.
Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes
msgmni for the owning namespace.Signed-off-by: Nadia Derbey

sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an
ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type. But in fact, they
do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by
calling a specific routine.This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function,
free_ipcs(), that do the job. The specific routine to call on each
individual ipcs is passed as parameter. For this, these ipc-specific
'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as
parameter.Signed-off-by: Pierre Peiffer

Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for
msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids'
are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace
itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to
static variables instead)It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the
ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the
maximum number of ipc allowed. Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed
size. As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there
is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct
ipc_namespace.This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace.
Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to
allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.Signed-off-by: Pierre Peiffer

Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov
