2008-02-08IPC: consolidate sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns()Pierre Peiffer
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.

2008-02-08IPC: make struct ipc_ids static in ipc_namespacePierre 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.

2008-02-08namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS optionPavel Emelyanov
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.
