It looks like the code that called shm_open() is called at the lttng-consumerd daemon. But, somehow it show up in the pmap at my service process. I noticed all my processes that loads liblttng-ust would have this entry. Do you know what's the reason?

Hi LTTng:


Our service has been running overnight with LTTng enabled to do some memory consumption testing. We noticed the linux pmap output would have several memory map used by LTTng, and are marked as deleted. Do you know what are them? Why are they left in the system and marked as deleted? Thanks.

Re: LTTng memory map

Yes, we open and then unlink the file in the shm within consumerd. 
Its inode stays reserved on the disk as long as we have at least 
one handle on it. 

We do file descriptor passing from consumerd to sessiond to 
the application over unix sockets. 

The reason why we unlink the file shortly after creation by consumerd 
is to make sure we teardown all resources cleanly even in case the 
consumerd would be killed by a SIGKILL. 

Thanks, 

Mathieu
