X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc5~37
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=165b239270be610a1e3999cb0d2e4e2c1f2a8fd4;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] NOMMU: make SYSV SHM nattch work correctly

Make the SYSV SHM nattch counter work correctly by forcing multiple VMAs to
be produced to represent MAP_SHARED segments, even if they overlap exactly.

Using this test program:

	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/doshm.c

Run as:

	doshm sysv

I can see nattch going from one before the patch:

	# /doshm sysv
	Command: sysv
	shmid: 65536
	memory: 0xc3700000
	c0b00000-c0b04000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
	c0bb0000-c0bba788 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 14582157  /lib/ld-uClibc-0.9.28.so
	c3180000-c31dede4 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 14582179  /lib/libuClibc-0.9.28.so

	c3700000-c37fa000 rw-S 00000000 00:06 1411      /SYSV00000000 (deleted)
	nattch 1

To two after the patch:

	# /doshm sysv
	Command: sysv
	shmid: 0
	memory: 0xc3700000
	c0bb0000-c0bba788 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 14582157  /lib/ld-uClibc-0.9.28.so

	c3320000-c3340000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0
	c3530000-c35325e8 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 13763417  /doshm
	c3534000-c353678c rw-p 00000000 00:0b 13763417  /doshm
	c3538000-c353aa00 rw-p 00008000 00:0b 14582157  /lib/ld-uClibc-0.9.28.so
	c3590000-c359b6c0 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
	c35a4000-c35a8000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
	c3700000-c37fa000 rw-S 00000000 00:06 1369      /SYSV00000000 (deleted)
	c3700000-c37fa000 rw-S 00000000 00:06 1369      /SYSV00000000 (deleted)
	nattch 2

That's +1 to nattch for each shmat() made.
