[PATCH] shm: Make sysv ipc shared memory use stacked files.

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Feb 05 2007 - 14:14:57 EST


The current ipc shared memory code runs into several problems because
it does not quiet use files like the rest of the kernel. With the
option of backing ipc shared memory with either hugetlbfs or ordinary
shared memory the problems got worse. With the added support for ipc
namespaces things behaved so unexpected that we now have several bad
namespace reference counting bugs when using what appears at first
glance to be a reasonable idiom.

So to attack these problems and hopefully make the code more
maintainable this patch simply uses the files provided by other parts
of the kernel and builds it's own files out of them. The shm files
are allocated in do_shmat and freed when their reference count drops to
zero with their last unmap. The file and vm operations that we don't
want to implement or we don't implement completely we just delegate to
the operations of our backing file.

This means that we now get an accurate shm_nattch count for we have a
hugetlbfs inode for backing store, and the shm accounting of last
attach and last detach time work as well.

This means that getting a reference to the ipc namespace when we
create the file and dropping the referenece in the release method
is now safe and correct.

This means we no longer need a special case for clearing VM_MAYWRITE
as our file descriptor now only has write permissions when we have
requested write access when calling shmat. Although VM_SHARED is now
cleared as well which I believe is harmless and is mostly likely a
minor bug fix.

By using the same set of operations for both the hugetlb case and
regular shared memory case shmdt is not simplified and made slightly
more correct as now the test "vma->vm_ops == &shm_vm_ops" is 100%
accurate in spotting all shared memory regions generated from sysvipc
shared memory.
