Subject: [PATCH proxmox] shared-memory: flush contents of newly created mmap file
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 09:33:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260422073351.181581-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
The man page for mmap [0] states, that mappings create with
`MAP_SHARED` are not carried to the underlying file directly.
To avoid possible races between creating and initializing a new
mmapped file and opening while checking the header of this file,
msync the contents after init but before persisting the shared
memory backed file.
