In diagnosing their problem, it was determined that when commit b231cca4 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed the msg size max from INT_MAX to 8192*128, that's what broke their setup. While fixing this problem, testing showed that if you increase the max values of a msg queue, then attempt to create one without an attr struct passed in to the open call, it could fail because it sets the queue size to the max of both the msg size and queue size. If these are large enough, they over run the default RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE. This change was also introduced in the b231cca4 ("message queues: increase range limits") commit. We then found that the msg queue limits were not all being enforced on CAP_SYS_RESOURCE apps. Finally, we found that commit 9cf18e1d ("ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher not lower on 64bit") fiddled with HARD_MSGMAX without realizing that the reason it was set to what it was, was to avoid trying to kmalloc a chunk larger than 128K. So this series of patches cleans up the various defines, takes us back to having a larger HARD_MSGSIZEMAX, goes back to using a separate define for the case where a user doesn't pass in an attr struct in case the maxes have been raised too large for RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE, enforces the maximums on CAP_SYS_RESOURCE apps, uses vmalloc instead of kmalloc when the msg pointer array is too large, and documents all of this so it shouldn't happen again. This patch: The various defines for minimums and maximums of the sysctl controllable mqueue values are scattered amongst different files and named inconsistently. Move them all into ipc_namespace.h and make them have consistent names. Additionally, make the number of queues per namespace also have a minimum and maximum and use the same sysctl function as the other two settable variables.
