Subject: ipc: conserve sequence numbers in ipcmni_extend mode
Rewrite, based on the patch from Waiman Long:
The mixing in of a sequence number into the IPC IDs is probably to avoid
ID reuse in userspace as much as possible. With ipcmni_extend mode, the
number of usable sequence numbers is greatly reduced leading to higher
chance of ID reuse.
To address this issue, we need to conserve the sequence number space as
much as possible. Right now, the sequence number is incremented for every
new ID created. In reality, we only need to increment the sequence number
when new allocated ID is not greater than the last one allocated. It is
in such case that the new ID may collide with an existing one. This is
being done irrespective of the ipcmni mode.
In order to avoid any races, the index is first allocated and then the
pointer is replaced.
Changes compared to the initial patch:
- Handle failures from idr_alloc().
- Avoid that concurrent operations can see the wrong
sequence number.
(This is achieved by using idr_replace()).
- IPCMNI_SEQ_SHIFT is not a constant, thus renamed to
ipcmni_seq_shift().
- IPCMNI_SEQ_MAX is not a constant, thus renamed to
ipcmni_seq_max().
