Since the commit d88fe447df ("Add support for sharing /dev/shm/ and
/dev/mqueue between containers") container's /dev/shm is mounted on the
host first, then bind-mounted inside the container. This is done that
way in order to be able to share this container's IPC namespace
(and the /dev/shm mount point) with another container.
Unfortunately, this functionality breaks container checkpoint/restore
(even if IPC is not shared). Since /dev/shm is an external mount, its
contents is not saved by `criu checkpoint`, and so upon restore any
application that tries to access data under /dev/shm is severily
disappointed (which usually results in a fatal crash).
This commit solves the issue by introducing new IPC modes for containers
(in addition to 'host' and 'container:ID'). The new modes are:
- 'shareable': enables sharing this container's IPC with others
(this used to be the implicit default);
- 'private': disables sharing this container's IPC.
In 'private' mode, container's /dev/shm is truly mounted inside the
container, without any bind-mounting from the host, which solves the
issue.
While at it, let's also implement 'none' mode. The motivation, as
eloquently put by Justin Cormack, is:
> I wondered a while back about having a none shm mode, as currently it is
> not possible to have a totally unwriteable container as there is always
> a /dev/shm writeable mount. It is a bit of a niche case (and clearly
> should never be allowed to be daemon default) but it would be trivial to
> add now so maybe we should...
...so here's yet yet another mode:
- 'none': no /dev/shm mount inside the container (though it still
has its own private IPC namespace).
Now, to ultimately solve the abovementioned checkpoint/restore issue, we'd
need to make 'private' the default mode, but unfortunately it breaks the
backward compatibility. So, let's make the default container IPC mode
per-daemon configurable (with the built-in default set to 'shareable'
for now). The default can be changed either via a daemon CLI option
(--default-shm-mode) or a daemon.json configuration file parameter
of the same name.
Note one can only set either 'shareable' or 'private' IPC modes as a
daemon default (i.e. in this context 'host', 'container', or 'none'
do not make much sense).
Some other changes this patch introduces are:
1. A mount for /dev/shm is added to default OCI Linux spec.
2. IpcMode.Valid() is simplified to remove duplicated code that parsed
'container:ID' form. Note the old version used to check that ID does
not contain a semicolon -- this is no longer the case (tests are
modified accordingly). The motivation is we should either do a
proper check for container ID validity, or don't check it at all
(since it is checked in other places anyway). I chose the latter.
3. IpcMode.Container() is modified to not return container ID if the
mode value does not start with "container:", unifying the check to
be the same as in IpcMode.IsContainer().
3. IPC mode unit tests (runconfig/hostconfig_test.go) are modified
to add checks for newly added values.

The --allow-nondistributable-artifacts daemon option specifies
registries to which foreign layers should be pushed. (By default,
foreign layers are not pushed to registries.)
Additionally, to make this option effective, foreign layers are now
pulled from the registry if possible, falling back to the URLs in the
image manifest otherwise.
This option is useful when pushing images containing foreign layers to a
registry on an air-gapped network so hosts on that network can pull the
images without connecting to another server.
