sysvipc_find_ipc() was left with a costly way to check if the offset position fed to it is bigger than the total number of IPC IDs in use. So much so that the time it takes to iterate over /proc/sysvipc/* files grows exponentially for a custom benchmark that creates "N" SYSV shm segments and then times the read of /proc/sysvipc/shm (milliseconds): 12 msecs to read 1024 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 18 msecs to read 2048 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 65 msecs to read 4096 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 325 msecs to read 8192 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 1303 msecs to read 16384 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm 5182 msecs to read 32768 segs from /proc/sysvipc/shm The root problem lies with the loop that computes the total amount of ids in use to check if the "pos" feeded to sysvipc_find_ipc() grew bigger than "ids->in_use". That is a quite inneficient way to get to the maximum index in the id lookup table, specially when that value is already provided by struct ipc_ids.max_idx.
