Hi

I have found that SysVIPC functions uses structure with short uid/gid types.

What is valid solution ?

Change types to uid_t/gid_t (but this will broke binary compatibility)
Change syscalls to old_* and add new with "right" structures,
or something else ?

struct ipc_perm {
	ushort	cuid;	/* creator user id */
	ushort	cgid;	/* creator group id */
	ushort	uid;	/* user id */
	ushort	gid;	/* group id */
	ushort	mode;	/* r/w permission */
	ushort	seq;	/* sequence # (to generate unique msg/sem/shm id) */
	key_t	key;	/* user specified msg/sem/shm key */
};
