Subject: ipc: only destroy orphaned shm segments on sysctl write
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:27:41 +0800
proc_ipc_dointvec_minmax_orphans() currently calls shm_destroy_orphaned()
whenever shm_rmid_forced is set, including on sysctl reads. Reading
/proc/sys/kernel/shm_rmid_forced should not take shm_ids rwsem for write
and walk all segments.
Only run the cleanup when the sysctl is written and the forced RMID policy
is enabled.
When shm_rmid_forced=1, monitoring tools that read
/proc/sys/kernel/shm_rmid_forced trigger the cleanup on every read.
