ipc: WARN if trying to remove ipc object which is absent
Patch series "shm: shm_rmid_forced feature fixes". Some time ago I met kernel crash after CRIU restore procedure, fortunately, it was CRIU restore, so, I had dump files and could do restore many times and crash reproduced easily. After some investigation I've constructed the minimal reproducer. It was found that it's use-after-free and it happens only if sysctl kernel.shm_rmid_forced = 1. The key of the problem is that the exit_shm() function not handles shp's object destroy when task->sysvshm.shm_clist contains items from different IPC namespaces. In most cases this list will contain only items from one IPC namespace. How can this list contain object from different namespaces? The exit_shm() function is designed to clean up this list always when process leaves IPC namespace. But we made a mistake a long time ago and did not add a exit_shm() call into the setns() syscall procedures. The first idea was just to add this call to setns() syscall...
