If semctl(), msgctl() and shmctl() are called with IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO, MSG_INFO or SHM_INFO, then the return value is the index of the highest used entry in the kernel's internal array recording information about all SysV objects of the requested type for the current namespace. (This information can be used with repeated ..._STAT or ..._STAT_ANY operations to obtain information about all SysV objects on the system.)
If the current highest used entry is destroyed, then the new highest used entry is determined by looping over all possible values. With the introduction of IPCMNI_EXTEND_SHIFT, this could be a loop over 16 million entries. As there is no get_last() function for idr structures: Implement a "get_last()" using a binary search. As far as I see, ipc is the only user that needs get_last(), thus implement it in ipc/util.c and not in a central location.
