Unfortunately, we had customers that relied on a size much larger than 8192*128 on their production systems. After reviewing POSIX, we found that it is silent on the maximum message size. We did find a couple other areas in which it was not silent. Fix up the mqueue maximums so that the customer's system can continue to work, and document both the POSIX and real world requirements in ipc_namespace.h so that we don't have this issue crop back up. Also, commit 9cf18e1dd74c ("ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher not lower on 64bit") fiddled with HARD_MSGMAX without realizing that the number was intentionally in place to limit the msg queue depth to one that was small enough to kmalloc an array of pointers (hence why we divided 128k by sizeof(long)). If we wish to meet POSIX requirements, we have no choice but to change our allocation to a vmalloc instead (at least for the large queue size case). With that, it's possible to increase our allowed maximum to the POSIX requirements (or more if we choose). Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford Cc: Amerigo Wang Cc: Serge E.
