From 30475cc12a50816f290828fb7e3cd7036cd622df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Badari Pulavarty Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:15:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Restore shmid as inode# to fix /proc/pid/maps ABI breakage shmid used to be stored as inode# for shared memory segments. Some of the proc-ps tools use this from /proc/pid/maps. Recent cleanups to newseg() changed it. This patch sets inode number back to shared memory id to fix breakage.
