* [PATCH] shmdt cannot detach not-alined shm segment cleanly.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2006-02-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().) This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt() (vma->vm_end - addr) < size addr == return address of shmat() size == shmsize, argments to shmget() size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end, which is aligned.

* [PATCH] NOMMU: Make SYSV IPC SHM use ramfs facilities on NOMMUDavid Howells2006-01-061-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel. The following changes are made: (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem code. (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode. (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

* [PATCH] SHM_NORESERVE flags for shmget()Badari Pulavarty2005-11-071-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add SHM_NORESERVE functionality similar to MAP_NORESERVE for shared memory segments. This is mainly to avoid abuse of OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and this flag is ignored for OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
