Hi Alexey,

When lkp team run kernel selftests, we found after these series of patches, testcase mqueue: mq_perf_tests
in kselftest failed with following message. 

If you confirm and fix the issue, kindly add following tag as appropriate

Which kernel was this run against?

Where can the mq_perf_tests that you ran and had problems with be found?

During your run were you using user namespaces as part of your test
environment?

The error message too many files corresponds to the error code EMFILES
which is the error code that is returned when the rlimit is reached.

One possibility is that your test environment was run in a user
namespace and so you wound up limited by rlimit of the user who created
the user namespace at the point of user namespace creation. 

At this point if you can give us enough information to look into this
and attempt to reproduce it that would be appreciated.

I was able to reproduce it on master without using user namespace.
I suspect that the maximum value is not assigned here [1]:

set_rlimit_ucount_max(&init_user_ns, UCOUNT_RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE, task_rlimit(&init_task, RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE));

The rlimits for init_task are set to INIT_RLIMITS.
In INIT_RLIMITS RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is set to MQ_MAX_BYTES

So that definitely means that as the code is current constructed the
rlimit can not be effectively raised.

So it looks like we are just silly and preventing the initial rlimits
from being raised.

So we probably want to do something like:

I cannot complete this test on my laptop. On 4Gb, the test ends with
oom-killer. But with this patch, the test definitely passes the moment of
the previous fall.

After investigation the problem turned out to be that ucount_max for
the rlimits in init_user_ns was being set to the initial rlimit value.
The practical problem is that ucount_max provides a limit that
applications inside the user namespace can not exceed.  Which means in
practice that rlimits that have been converted to use the ucount
infrastructure were not able to exceend their initial rlimits.

Solve this by setting the relevant values of ucount_max to
RLIM_INIFINITY.  A limit in init_user_ns is pointless so the code
should allow the values to grow as large as possible without riscking
an underflow or an overflow.

As the ltp test case was a bit of a pain I have reproduced the rlimit failure
and tested the fix with the following little C program:

and will push out to linux-next and then to Linus shortly.

The change is already tested and pushed out so I really don't want to
mess with it.  Especially as I am aiming to send it to Linus on
Wednesday after it has had a chance to pass through linux-next and
whatever automated tests are there.

What does copying and pasting the Reported-by: tag as included in
your original report cause to break?

At this point I suspect that the danger of fat fingering something
far outweighs whatever benefits might be gained by surrounding the
email address with <> marks.

The rlimit counter is tied to uid in the user_namespace. This allows
rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already
globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous
user_namespaces cannot be exceeded.
