+shm_rmid_forced:
+
+Linux lets you set resource limits, including how much memory one
+process can consume, via setrlimit(2).  Unfortunately, shared memory
+segments are allowed to exist without association with any process, and
+thus might not be counted against any resource limits.  If enabled,
+shared memory segments are automatically destroyed when their attach
+count becomes zero after a detach or a process termination.  It will
+also destroy segments that were created, but never attached to, on exit
+from the process.  The only use left for IPC_RMID is to immediately
+destroy an unattached segment.  Of course, this breaks the way things are
+defined, so some applications might stop working.  Note that this
+feature will do you no good unless you also configure your resource
+limits (in particular, RLIMIT_AS and RLIMIT_NPROC).  Most systems don't
+need this.
+
+Note that if you change this from 0 to 1, already created segments
+without users and with a dead originative process will be destroyed.
