Rootless containers are not allowed to modify kernel IPC parameters.
All default limits are set to such high values that in fact there are no
limits at all. All limits are not inherited and are initialized to
default values when a new ipc_namespace is created.
For new ipc_namespace:
size_t ipc_ns.shm_ctlmax = SHMMAX; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24))
size_t ipc_ns.shm_ctlall = SHMALL; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24))
int ipc_ns.shm_ctlmni = IPCMNI; // (1 << 15)
int ipc_ns.shm_rmid_forced = 0;
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmax = MSGMAX; // 8192
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmni = MSGMNI; // 32000
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmnb = MSGMNB; // 16384
The shm_tot (total amount of shared pages) has also ceased to be
global, it is located in ipc_namespace and is not inherited from
anywhere.
In such conditions, it cannot be said that these limits limit anything.
The real limiter for them is cgroups.
If we allow rootless containers to change these parameters, then it can
only be reduced.

2.43.0After 25b21cb2f6d6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111bdc
("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped
being global and started counting per ipc namespace. The documentation
and shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option.
shmget(2):
SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured
in units of the system page size. On Linux, this limit can be read and
modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.
I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

2.43.0All parameters of posix messages queues (queues_max/msg_max/msgsize_max)
end up being limited by RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE. The code in mqueue_get_inode is
where that limiting happens.
The RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is bound to the user namespace and is counted
hierarchically.
We can allow root in the user namespace to modify the posix messages
queues parameters.
