Hello all,
In 2.2 kernels one could access the vma segments of a Sys V shared memory
(shm) through:
shp->attaches. In 2.6 kernels a shm is managed through a file. The question
is: given a Sys V key value, how can we find all the tasks that have
attached the corresponding shm?
We can do the following (with error checking ignored):
id = ipc_findkey(&shm_ids, key);
shp = shm_lock(id);
tsk = find_task_by_pid(shp->shm_cprid);
vma = tsk->mm->mmap;
while(vma) {
if(vma->vm_file == shp->shm_file)
break;
vma = vma->vm_next;
}
shm_unlock(shp);
But here we only get the vma of the task that created the shm, and not any
other task who has attached it.
How can we find all the vma structures that represent a shm?

The simplest example to follow would be reset_vma_truncate_counts() in
mm/memory.c: shp->shm_file->f_mapping gives you the struct address_space *
mapping to pass to vma_prio_tree_foreach(). Ignore the i_mmap_nonlinear
lines, you can't get nonlinear shm (because shm_vm_ops lacks .populate).
You'll need to spin_lock(&mapping->i_mmap_lock) first, spin_unlock after.
