Subject: [PATCH] shm: Fix the filename of hugetlb sysv shared memory
Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2007 17:43:34 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1vedyqaft.fsf_-_@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <46697EDA.9000209@us.ibm.com> (Badari Pulavarty's message of "Fri, 08 Jun 2007 09:07:54 -0700")


Some user space tools need to identify SYSV shared memory when
examining /proc/<pid>/maps.  To do so they look for a block device
with major zero, a dentry named SYSV<sysv key>, and having the minor of
the internal sysv shared memory kernel mount.

To help these tools and to make it easier for people just browsing
/proc/<pid>/maps this patch modifies hugetlb sysv shared memory to
use the SYSV<key> dentry naming convention.

User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv
shared memory lives on a different internal kernel mount and so
has a different block device minor number from the rest of sysv
shared memory.
