2025-11-11pid: rely on common reference count behaviorChristian Brauner
Now that we changed the generic reference counting mechanism for all namespaces to never manipulate reference counts of initial namespaces we can drop the special handling for pid namespaces.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace infrastructure of the kernel. Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so on. We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up. The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy. The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum() and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about. Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do for e.g., files. In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system call. Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the concept to all other namespace types. The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree works completely locklessly. This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct mnt_namespace itself. There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very useful. This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis. As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive, meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle. Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode the file handle. Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate /proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the namespace based on a pidfd already. It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any resources and to compare them trivially. Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant namespace. The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles" * tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (65 commits) ns: drop assert ns: move ns type into struct ns_common nstree: make struct ns_tree private ns: add ns_debug() ns: simplify ns_common_init() further cgroup: add missing ns_common include ns: use inode initializer for initial namespaces selftests/namespaces: verify initial namespace inode numbers ns: rename to __ns_ref nsfs: port to ns_ref_*() helpers net: port to ns_ref_*() helpers uts: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipv4: use check_net() net: use check_net() net-sysfs: use check_net() user: port to ns_ref_*() helpers time: port to ns_ref_*() helpers pid: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipc: port to ns_ref_*() helpers cgroup: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ...

2025-09-01copy_process: pass clone_flags as u64 across calltreeSimon Schuster
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

2025-03-06pid: Do not set pid_max in new pid namespacesMichal Koutný
It is already difficult for users to troubleshoot which of multiple pid limits restricts their workload. The per-(hierarchical-)NS pid_max would contribute to the confusion. Also, the implementation copies the limit upon creation from parent, this pattern showed cumbersome with some attributes in legacy cgroup controllers -- it's subject to race condition between parent's limit modification and children creation and once copied it must be changed in the descendant. Let's do what other places do (ucounts or cgroup limits) -- create new pid namespaces without any limit at all. The global limit (actually any ancestor's limit) is still effectively in place, we avoid the set/unshare race and bumps of global (ancestral) limit have the desired effect on pid namespace that do not care.

2025-01-28treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicableJoel Granados
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers.

2024-12-02pid: allow pid_max to be set per pid namespaceChristian Brauner
The pid_max sysctl is a global value. For a long time the default value has been 65535 and during the pidfd dicussions Linus proposed to bump pid_max by default (cf. [1]). Based on this discussion systemd started bumping pid_max to 2^22. So all new systems now run with a very high pid_max limit with some distros having also backported that change. The decision to bump pid_max is obviously correct. It just doesn't make a lot of sense nowadays to enforce such a low pid number. There's sufficient tooling to make selecting specific processes without typing really large pid numbers available. In any case, there are workloads that have expections about how large pid numbers they accept. Either for historical reasons or architectural reasons. One concreate example is the 32-bit version of Android's bionic libc which requires pid numbers less than 65536. There are workloads where it is run in a 32-bit container on a 64-bit kernel. If the host has a pid_max value greater than 65535 the libc will abort thread creation because of size assumptions of pthread_mutex_t. That's a fairly specific use-case however, in general specific workloads that are moved into containers running on a host with a new kernel and a new systemd can run into issues with large pid_max values. Obviously making assumptions about the size of the allocated pid is suboptimal but we have userspace that does it. Of course, giving containers the ability to restrict the number of processes in their respective pid namespace indepent of the global limit through pid_max is something desirable in itself and comes in handy in general. Independent of motivating use-cases the existence of pid namespaces makes this also a good semantical extension and there have been prior proposals pushing in a similar direction. The trick here is to minimize the risk of regressions which I think is doable. The fact that pid namespaces are hierarchical will help us here. What we mostly care about is that when the host sets a low pid_max limit, say (crazy number) 100 that no descendant pid namespace can allocate a higher pid number in its namespace. Since pid allocation is hierarchial this can be ensured by checking each pid allocation against the pid namespace's pid_max limit. This means if the allocation in the descendant pid namespace succeeds, the ancestor pid namespace can reject it. If the ancestor pid namespace has a higher limit than the descendant pid namespace the descendant pid namespace will reject the pid allocation. The ancestor pid namespace will obviously not care about this. All in all this means pid_max continues to enforce a system wide limit on the number of processes but allows pid namespaces sufficient leeway in handling workloads with assumptions about pid values and allows containers to restrict the number of processes in a pid namespace through the pid_max interface.

2023-08-21memfd: replace ratcheting feature from vm.memfd_noexec with hierarchyAleksa Sarai
This sysctl has the very unusual behaviour of not allowing any user (even CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to reduce the restriction setting, meaning that if you were to set this sysctl to a more restrictive option in the host pidns you would need to reboot your machine in order to reset it. The justification given in [1] is that this is a security feature and thus it should not be possible to disable. Aside from the fact that we have plenty of security-related sysctls that can be disabled after being enabled (fs.protected_symlinks for instance), the protection provided by the sysctl is to stop users from being able to create a binary and then execute it.

There appear to be concerns about confused-deputy-esque attacks[2] but a confused deputy that can write to arbitrary sysctls is a bigger security issue than executable memfds. /* New API */ The primary requirement from the original author appears to be more based on the need to be able to restrict an entire system in a hierarchical manner[3], such that child namespaces cannot re-enable executable memfds. So, implement that behaviour explicitly -- the vm.memfd_noexec scope is evaluated up the pidns tree to &init_pid_ns and you have the most restrictive value applied to you. The new lower limit you can set vm.memfd_noexec is whatever limit applies to your parent. Note that a pidns will inherit a copy of the parent pidns's effective vm.memfd_noexec setting at unshare() time. This matches the existing behaviour, and it also ensures that a pidns will never have its vm.memfd_noexec setting *lowered* behind its back (but it will be raised if the parent raises theirs). /* Backwards Compatibility */ As the previous version of the sysctl didn't allow you to lower the setting at all, there are no backwards compatibility issues with this aspect of the change. However it should be noted that now that the setting is completely hierarchical. Previously, a cloned pidns would just copy the current pidns setting, meaning that if the parent's vm.memfd_noexec was changed it wouldn't propoagate to existing pid namespaces. Now, the restriction applies recursively. This is a uAPI change, however: * The sysctl is very new, having been merged in 6.3. * Several aspects of the sysctl were broken up until this patchset and the other patchset by Jeff Xu last month. And thus it seems incredibly unlikely that any real users would run into this issue. In the worst case, if this causes userspace isues we could make it so that modifying the setting follows the hierarchical rules but the restriction checking uses the cached copy.

2023-07-01pid: use struct_size_t() helperChristian Brauner
Before commit d67790ddf021 ("overflow: Add struct_size_t() helper") only struct_size() existed, which expects a valid pointer instance containing the flexible array. However, when we determine the default struct pid allocation size for the associated kmem cache of a pid namespace we need to take the nesting depth of the pid namespace into account without an variable instance necessarily being available. In commit b69f0aeb0689 ("pid: Replace struct pid 1-element array with flex-array") we used to handle this the old fashioned way and cast NULL to a struct pid pointer type. However, we do apparently have a dedicated struct_size_t() helper for exactly this case. So switch to that.

2023-06-30pid: Replace struct pid 1-element array with flex-arrayKees Cook
For pid namespaces, struct pid uses a dynamically sized array member, "numbers". This was implemented using the ancient 1-element fake flexible array, which has been deprecated for decades. Replace it with a C99 flexible array, refactor the array size calculations to use struct_size(), and address elements via indexes. Note that the static initializer (which defines a single element) works as-is, and requires no special handling. Without this, CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (and potentially CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE) will trigger bounds checks: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230517-bushaltestelle-super-e223978c1ba6@brauner Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@google.com> Cc: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com> Cc: Daniel Verkamp <dverkamp@chromium.org> Cc: "Paul E.

2023-01-18mm/memfd: add MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and MFD_EXECJeff Xu
The new MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and MFD_EXEC flags allows application to set executable bit at creation time (memfd_create). When MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is set, memfd is created without executable bit (mode:0666), and sealed with F_SEAL_EXEC, so it can't be chmod to be executable (mode: 0777) after creation. when MFD_EXEC flag is set, memfd is created with executable bit (mode:0777), this is the same as the old behavior of memfd_create. The new pid namespaced sysctl vm.memfd_noexec has 3 values: 0: memfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL acts like MFD_EXEC was set. 1: memfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL acts like MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL was set. 2: memfd_create() without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL will be rejected. The sysctl allows finer control of memfd_create for old-software that doesn't set the executable bit, for example, a container with vm.memfd_noexec=1 means the old-software will create non-executable memfd by default. Also, the value of memfd_noexec is passed to child namespace at creation time. For example, if the init namespace has vm.memfd_noexec=2, all its children namespaces will be created with 2.

2023-01-03rcu-tasks: Fix synchronize_rcu_tasks() VS zap_pid_ns_processes()Frederic Weisbecker
RCU Tasks and PID-namespace unshare can interact in do_exit() in a complicated circular dependency: 1) TASK A calls unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), this creates a new PID namespace that every subsequent child of TASK A will belong to. But TASK A doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace. 2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging to the new PID namespace created by unshare() (let's call it PID_NS2). 3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the PID_NS2 child reaper. 4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2. Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper. 5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()). 6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to synchronize_srcu(&tasks_rcu_exit_srcu). 7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A. 8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for TASK C. Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead. The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way out of the deadlock scenario.

2021-09-03memcg: enable accounting for pids in nested pid namespacesVasily Averin
Commit 5d097056c9a0 ("kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg") enabled memcg accounting for pids allocated from init_pid_ns.pid_cachep, but forgot to adjust the setting for nested pid namespaces. As a result, pid memory is not accounted exactly where it is really needed, inside memcg-limited containers with their own pid namespaces. Pid was one the first kernel objects enabled for memcg accounting. init_pid_ns.pid_cachep marked by SLAB_ACCOUNT and we can expect that any new pids in the system are memcg-accounted. Though recently I've noticed that it is wrong. nested pid namespaces creates own slab caches for pid objects, nested pids have increased size because contain id both for all parent and for own pid namespaces. The problem is that these slab caches are _NOT_ marked by SLAB_ACCOUNT, as a result any pids allocated in nested pid namespaces are not memcg-accounted. Pid struct in nested pid namespace consumes up to 500 bytes memory, 100000 such objects gives us up to ~50Mb unaccounted memory, this allow container to exceed assigned memcg limits.

2020-08-19pid: Use generic ns_common::countKirill Tkhai
Switch over pid namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime counter. Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and these are not altered. This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them. It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces. Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace struct out of struct ns_common. Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

2020-05-09nsproxy: add struct nssetChristian Brauner
Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons. First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed. The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this should have functional consequences. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Reviewed-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Cc: Eric W.

2020-04-27sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handlerChristoph Hellwig
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.

2020-02-28proc: Remove the now unnecessary internal mount of procEric W. Biederman
There remains no more code in the kernel using pids_ns->proc_mnt, therefore remove it from the kernel. The big benefit of this change is that one of the most error prone and tricky parts of the pid namespace implementation, maintaining kernel mounts of proc is removed. In addition removing the unnecessary complexity of the kernel mount fixes a regression that caused the proc mount options to be ignored. Now that the initial mount of proc comes from userspace, those mount options are again honored. This fixes Android's usage of the proc hidepid option.

2019-11-15fork: extend clone3() to support setting a PIDAdrian Reber
The main motivation to add set_tid to clone3() is CRIU. To restore a process with the same PID/TID CRIU currently uses /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid. It writes the desired (PID - 1) to ns_last_pid and then (quickly) does a clone(). This works most of the time, but it is racy. It is also slow as it requires multiple syscalls. Extending clone3() to support *set_tid makes it possible restore a process using CRIU without accessing /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid and race free (as long as the desired PID/TID is available). This clone3() extension places the same restrictions (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) on clone3() with *set_tid as they are currently in place for ns_last_pid. The original version of this change was using a single value for set_tid. At the 2019 LPC, after presenting set_tid, it was, however, decided to change set_tid to an array to enable setting the PID of a process in multiple PID namespaces at the same time. If a process is created in a PID namespace it is possible to influence the PID inside and outside of the PID namespace. Details also in the corresponding selftest. To create a process with the following PIDs: PID NS level Requested PID 0 (host) 31496 1 42 2 1 For that example the two newly introduced parameters to struct clone_args (set_tid and set_tid_size) would need to be: set_tid[0] = 1; set_tid[1] = 42; set_tid[2] = 31496; set_tid_size = 3; If only the PIDs of the two innermost nested PID namespaces should be defined it would look like this: set_tid[0] = 1; set_tid[1] = 42; set_tid_size = 2; The PID of the newly created process would then be the next available free PID in the PID namespace level 0 (host) and 42 in the PID namespace at level 1 and the PID of the process in the innermost PID namespace would be 1. The set_tid array is used to specify the PID of a process starting from the innermost nested PID namespaces up to set_tid_size PID namespaces. set_tid_size cannot be larger then the current PID namespace level.

2019-07-18proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range checkMatteo Croce
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal. Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

2019-05-27signal/pid_namespace: Fix reboot_pid_ns to use send_sig not force_sigEric W. Biederman
The locking in force_sig_info is not prepared to deal with a task that exits or execs (as sighand may change). The is not a locking problem in force_sig as force_sig is only built to handle synchronous exceptions. Further the function force_sig_info changes the signal state if the signal is ignored, or blocked or if SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will prevent the delivery of the signal. The signal SIGKILL can not be ignored and can not be blocked and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE won't prevent it from being delivered. So using force_sig rather than send_sig for SIGKILL is confusing and pointless. Because it won't impact the sending of the signal and and because using force_sig is wrong, replace force_sig with send_sig.

Replace send_sig_info in zap_pid_ns_processes with group_send_sig_info. This makes more sense as the entire process group is being killed. More importantly this allows the kill of those processes with PIDTYPE_MAX to indicate all of the process in the pid namespace are being signaled. This is needed for fork to detect when signals are sent to a group of processes. Admittedly fork has another case to catch SIGKILL but the principle remains that it is desirable to know when a group of processes is being signaled. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Now that siginfo is never allocated for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP there is no difference between SEND_SIG_PRIV and SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. This makes SEND_SIG_FORCED unnecessary and redundant in the presence of SIGKILL and SIGSTOP.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "There was a lot of work this cycle fixing bugs that were discovered after the merge window and getting everything ready where we can reasonably support fully unprivileged fuse. The bug fixes you already have and much of the unprivileged fuse work is coming in via other trees. Still left for fully unprivileged fuse is figuring out how to cleanly handle .set_acl and .get_acl in the legacy case, and properly handling of evm xattrs on unprivileged mounts. Included in the tree is a cleanup from Alexely that replaced a linked list with a statically allocated fix sized array for the pid caches, which simplifies and speeds things up. Then there is are some cleanups and fixes for the ipc namespace. The motivation was that in reviewing other code it was discovered that access ipc objects from different pid namespaces recorded pids in such a way that when asked the wrong pids were returned. In the worst case there has been a measured 30% performance impact for sysvipc semaphores. Other test cases showed no measurable performance impact. Manfred Spraul and Davidlohr Bueso who tend to work on sysvipc performance both gave the nod that this is good enough. Casey Schaufler and James Morris have given their approval to the LSM side of the changes. I simplified the types and the code dealing with sysvipc to pass just kern_ipc_perm for all three types of ipc. Which reduced the header dependencies throughout the kernel and simplified the lsm code.
