[PATCH] NOMMU: make SYSV SHM nattch work correctly
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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

	nattch 1

To two after the patch:

	# /doshm sysv
	Command: sysv
	shmid: 0

	nattch 2

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