SubjectRe: [PATCH -mm 7/7] forbid the use of the unshare syscall on ipc namespaces
This patch looks as an overkill for me.

If you really care about things you describe, you can forbid unsharing in cases:

1.
undo_list = tsk->sysvsem.undo_list;
if (undo_list)
REFUSE_UNSHARE;
2. vma exists with vma->vm_ops == &shm_vm_ops;
3. file opened with f_op == &shm_file_operations

I also dislike exec() operation for such sort of things since you can have no executable
at hands due to changed fs namespace.

Thanks,
Kirill
