After investigation the problem turned out to be that ucount_max for
the rlimits in init_user_ns was being set to the initial rlimit value.
The practical problem is that ucount_max provides a limit that
applications inside the user namespace can not exceed. Which means in
practice that rlimits that have been converted to use the ucount
infrastructure were not able to exceend their initial rlimits.
Solve this by setting the relevant values of ucount_max to
RLIM_INIFINITY. A limit in init_user_ns is pointless so the code
should allow the values to grow as large as possible without riscking
an underflow or an overflow.
As the ltp test case was a bit of a pain I have reproduced the rlimit failure
and tested the fix with the following little C program:
> #include <stdio.h>
> #include <fcntl.h>
> #include <sys/stat.h>
> #include <mqueue.h>
> #include <sys/time.h>
> #include <sys/resource.h>
> #include <errno.h>
> #include <string.h>
> #include <stdlib.h>
> #include <limits.h>
> #include <unistd.h>

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
