ipc: sysv shared memory limited to 8TiB

Browse source 
commit d69f3bad46 upstream.

Trying to run an application which was trying to put data into half of
memory using shmget(), we found that having a shmall value below 8EiB-8TiB
would prevent us from using anything more than 8TiB.  By setting
kernel.shmall greater than 8EiB-8TiB would make the job work.

In the newseg() function, ns->shm_tot which, at 8TiB is INT_MAX.

ipc/shm.c:
 458 static int newseg(struct ipc_namespace *ns, struct ipc_params *params)
 459 {
...
 465         int numpages = (size + PAGE_SIZE -1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
...
 474         if (ns->shm_tot + numpages > ns->shm_ctlall)
 475                 return -ENOSPC;

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: make ipc/shm.c:newseg()'s numpages size_t, not int]
