Subject: [PATCH v8 5/5] ipc: Add a new ipcmni_compat sysctl to fall back to old behavior
With strict range limit enforcement of msgmni, shmmni and sem, it is
possible that some existing applications that set those values to above
32k may fail. To help users to work around this potential problem, a new
boolean ipcmni_compat sysctl is added to provide the old beahavior for
compatibility when it is set to 1. In other word, the limit will then be
enforced internally but no error will be reported.
This compatibility mode can only be enabled if the ipcmni_extend kernel
boot parameter is not specified.
The sysctl documentation is also updated accordingly.
