I would like to use shared memory in shared library to data exchange and operate socket.
In my library, when first process loads shared libary, shared memory is created in constructor.
Then, second process load shared library, I want to attach this shared memory.
But second process create other shared memory although key is same.
This is sample code.
char* sharedmemory;
__attribute__ ((constructor)) void attach_sharedmemory() {
key_t key = 10;
errno = 0
int seg_id = shmget(key, 1000, IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL | 0660);
if(seg_id == -1){
if(errno == EEXIST){
seg_id = shmget(key, 0, 0);
if(seg_id == -1){
exit(1);
}else{
shared_memory = (char*)(shmat(seg_id, 0, 0));
}
}else{
exit(1);
}
}else{
shared_memory = (char*)(shmat(seg_id, 0, 0));
}
}
void dllfunction1(){}
void dllfunction2(){}
ipcs command result is here.
Second process shmid is always first process's shmid + 1.
#result of ipcs
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0x00000XXX 65536 user1 660 1000 1 dest <--- created first process
0x00000YYY 65537 user1 660 1000 1 dest <--- created second process
How can I fix this?
My enviroment is Ubuntu 20.04LTS.
Compiled GCC.
The second process calling shmget() fails due to the flag bit IPC_EXCL
as expected; although the next call to shmget() reused the same key and
flags changed to 0 (no IPC_EXCL), the size was 0 leading to a new segment.
By reusing the same key and size (again flags without IPC_EXCL), the second
process can get the same segment ID and attach. Sample code below is
based on the original with added shmem detach:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
static void *sharedmemory;
static int seg_id;
__attribute__ ((constructor))
void attach_shmem(void)
{
key_t key = 10;
size_t size = 1000;
seg_id = shmget(key, size, IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL | 0660);
if ((seg_id == -1) && (errno == EEXIST))
seg_id = shmget(key, size, 0);
if (seg_id == -1)
exit(1);
sharedmemory = shmat(seg_id, NULL, 0);
}
__attribute__ ((destructor))
void detach_shmem(void)
{
(void) shmdt(sharedmemory);
}

To create a new and empty shared memory segment I can do something like:
int shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, nbytes, IPC_CREAT | 0777);
int* new_array = (int*)shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
Now suppose int* array owns a chunk of pre-existing data. Something like
int* array = malloc(2 * sizeof(int));
array[0] = 42;
array[1] = 24;
I'd like to turn this memory segment into a shared memory segment with the System V shared memory C API, on Linux.
How can I do this?
I've tried stuff like
int shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, nbytes, IPC_CREAT | 0777);
void* attach = shmat(shmid, array, SHM_RND);
and like
int shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, nbytes, IPC_CREAT | 0777);
array = (int*)shmat(shmid, 0, 0);
but either shmat returns (void*)-1 or int* array gets all its values set to zero.
Here's a full program that shows the failures:
/*
gcc shm0.c -o shm0 && ./shm0
*/
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#define NELEMENTS 3
void array_show(int* array, size_t nelements){
puts("");
for(int i=0; i < nelements; ++i)
printf("%d\n", *(array + i));
}
int main(){
const size_t nbytes = NELEMENTS * sizeof(int);
int* array;
posix_memalign((void**)&array, 16*16*16, nbytes);
int shmid = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, nbytes, IPC_CREAT | 0777);
// 1st try...
void* attach = shmat(shmid, array, SHM_RND);
if(attach == (void*)-1)
puts("shmat() failed!");
// 2nd try...
memset(array, 1, nbytes); // Fill array with dummy data!
array_show(array, NELEMENTS);
array = (int*)shmat(shmid, 0, 0);
array_show(array, NELEMENTS);
if(array[1] == 0)
puts("array was reset!");
// 3rd try
array = (int*)shmat(shmid, array, 0); // Now accessing, say, array[0] yields a segfault!
shmdt(array);
}
Why SYSV shared memory and not mmap()? Because I'm using the X11 MIT shared memory extension, and, according to the docs:
... to be able to use this extension, your system must provide the SYSV shared memory primitives. There is not an mmap-based version of this extension. To use shared memory on Sun systems, you must have built your kernel with SYSV shared memory enabled ...
(If someone knows a way around this, or how to do this using shm_open(), I'd be delighted to hear about it.)
I'm working on a simple FIFO queue to synchronize multiple instances of a server process.
This is very similar to
Linux synchronization with FIFO waiting queue, except dealing with multiple processes instead of threads. I adapted caf's ticket lock to use process-shared mutex and condition variable from a shared memory segment. It also handles timeouts in case one process dies while processing a request:

However killing the 2nd instance breaks pthread_cond_timedwait() in the 1st:
pthread_cond_timedwait: No such file or directory
Which makes sense in a way, the condition variable was tracking this process and it's not there anymore.
Surely there must be a way to recover from this ?
[too long for a comment]
pthread_cond_timedwait: No such file or directory
Hu! :-)
The pthread_*() family of functions does not set errno to any error code but returns it.
So to get any usable results change this
if (pthread_cond_timedwait(&ticket->cond, &ticket->mutex, &ts) == 0)
continue;
if (errno != ETIMEDOUT) fail("pthread_cond_timedwait");
to be
if ((errno = pthread_cond_timedwait(&ticket->cond, &ticket->mutex, &ts)) == 0)
continue;
if (errno != ETIMEDOUT) fail("pthread_cond_timedwait");
Ok, quoting posix pthread_mutex_lock() reference:
If mutex is a robust mutex and the process containing the owning thread terminated while holding the mutex lock, a call to pthread_mutex_lock() shall return the error value [EOWNERDEAD]. [...] In these cases, the mutex is locked by the thread but the state it protects is marked as inconsistent. The application should ensure that the state is made consistent for reuse and when that is complete call pthread_mutex_consistent(). If the application is unable to recover the state, it should unlock the mutex without a prior call to pthread_mutex_consistent(), after which the mutex is marked permanently unusable.
So in addition to alk's comment to robustly handle processes dying with the mutex locked we need to watch for EOWNERDEAD when calling pthread_mutex_lock() and pthread_cond_timedwait(), and call pthread_mutex_consistent() on it.
Something like:
if ((errno = pthread_cond_timedwait(&ticket->cond, &ticket->mutex, &ts)) == 0)
continue;
if (errno == EOWNERDEAD) /* Recover mutex owned by dead process */
pthread_mutex_consistent(&ticket->mutex);
else if (errno != ETIMEDOUT)
fail("pthread_cond_timedwait");
Could you please help me? I can not increase the size of my Sherd Memory. The code is written in C on Linux.
I need 65536 bytes, but just 49152 seem to be allowed... If I increase it, shmget fails...(in my code: shmid < 0)
I tried to find out my maximum shared memory size and increased it with:
sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=2147483648
But that doesn't help, the initialization again fails.
This is my code:
#define SHM_KEY 9877
#define SHM_SIZE 65536
int SHM_init (int shmid, char** shm, key_t key, long int size) {
/* Create a new (System V) shared memory segment of the specified size */
shmid = shmget(key, SHM_SIZE, IPC_CREAT|0777);
/* Check if SHM creation was successful */
if (shmid < 0) {
/* DBG: Debug message to show which point of the program has been passed */
DBG_PRINT("C\n");
/* Check if creation failed because of already existing SHM */
if (EEXIST == errno) {
/* DBG: Debug message to show which point of the program has been passed */
DBG_PRINT("CC\n");
/* Delete already existing SHM with shmctl */
shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL);
} else {
/* DBG: Debug message to show which point of the program has been passed */
DBG_PRINT("CCC\n");
}
/* Creation and initialization of SHM failed */
return -1;
}
/* Attach the SHM data pointer to the previously created SHM segment */
*shm = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
if(*shm == (char *) -1) {
/* Attaching failed */
return -1;
}
DBG_PRINT("Shared Memory Initialization successful\n");
/* Creation and initialization of shared memory was successful */

Thank you so much in advance...
This topic might help.
What does ipcs -l return if you increase the shmmax with sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=2147483648 ?
I am writing a simple application on C that uses shared memory but I cannot run it anymore as it says:
shmat: Cannot allocate memory
I am using this script to free my memory but doesn't seem to work.
This is a screenshot of my processes:
This is the application code:
/* Shared Memory IPC creates a mamory space and send contendt to it while the other process can read from it.
Our implementation works like this:
1. First run the application by passing as a argument the value you want to send to the shared memory. Example: ./ipc_sharedmem.o 4
2. Run the appliation again to read from the shared memory (which is a new process, of course) wihout sending any arguments. Exmaple: ./ipc_sharedmem.o

Any idea?
Your shared memory segments are marked as to be destroyed but still have process(es) attached to them.
Per the source code, the nattach column is 2 and the status is "dest", meaning the shared memory segments have 2 attachments and are marked to be destroyed once the last attached process detaches from the segment.
You need to either have the process(es) attached to the segments call shmdt() to detach from the shared memory segments, or you need kill those process(es). Once you do that the segments will be destroyed.
Have you tried (as root):
$ sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
Not sure this will free your shared memory, but you can try.
If you want to see an example, here goes a gist: https://gist.github.com/hudsantos/7fec7d9c34cc472b7f98
I have a bit of an issue with one of my projects.
I have been trying to find a well documented example of using shared memory with fork() but to no success.
Basically the scenario is that when the user starts the program, I need to store two values in shared memory: current_path which is a char* and a file_name which is also char*.
Depending on the command arguments, a new process is kicked off with fork() and that process needs to read and modify the current_path variable stored in shared memory while the file_name variable is read only.
Is there a good tutorial on shared memory with example code (if possible) that you can direct me to?
There are two approaches: shmget and mmap. I'll talk about mmap, since it's more modern and flexible, but you can take a look at man shmget (or this tutorial) if you'd rather use the old-style tools.
The mmap() function can be used to allocate memory buffers with highly customizable parameters to control access and permissions, and to back them with file-system storage if necessary.
The following function creates an in-memory buffer that a process can share with its children:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
void* create_shared_memory(size_t size) {
// Our memory buffer will be readable and writable:
int protection = PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE;
// The buffer will be shared (meaning other processes can access it), but
// anonymous (meaning third-party processes cannot obtain an address for it),
// so only this process and its children will be able to use it:
int visibility = MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS;
// The remaining parameters to `mmap()` are not important for this use case,
// but the manpage for `mmap` explains their purpose.
return mmap(NULL, size, protection, visibility, -1, 0);
}
The following is an example program that uses the function defined above to allocate a buffer. The parent process will write a message, fork, and then wait for its child to modify the buffer. Both processes can read and write the shared memory.
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
char parent_message[] = "hello"; // parent process will write this message
char child_message[] = "goodbye"; // child process will then write this one
void* shmem = create_shared_memory(128);
memcpy(shmem, parent_message, sizeof(parent_message));
int pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
printf("Child read: %s\n", shmem);
memcpy(shmem, child_message, sizeof(child_message));
printf("Child wrote: %s\n", shmem);
} else {
printf("Parent read: %s\n", shmem);
sleep(1);
printf("After 1s, parent read: %s\n", shmem);
}
}
Here is an example for shared memory :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#define SHM_SIZE 1024 /* make it a 1K shared memory segment */
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
key_t key;
int shmid;
char *data;
int mode;
if (argc > 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "usage: shmdemo [data_to_write]\n");
exit(1);
}
/* make the key: */
if ((key = ftok("hello.txt", 'R')) == -1) /*Here the file must exist */
{
perror("ftok");
exit(1);
}
/* create the segment: */
if ((shmid = shmget(key, SHM_SIZE, 0644 | IPC_CREAT)) == -1) {
perror("shmget");
exit(1);
}
/* attach to the segment to get a pointer to it: */
if ((data = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0)) == (void *)-1) {
perror("shmat");
exit(1);
}
/* read or modify the segment, based on the command line: */
if (argc == 2) {
printf("writing to segment: \"%s\"\n", argv[1]);
strncpy(data, argv[1], SHM_SIZE);
} else
printf("segment contains: \"%s\"\n", data);
/* detach from the segment: */
if (shmdt(data) == -1) {
perror("shmdt");
exit(1);
}
return 0;
}
Steps :
Use ftok to convert a pathname and a project identifier to a System V IPC key
Use shmget which allocates a shared memory segment
Use shmat to attache the shared memory segment identified by shmid to the address space of the calling process
Do the operations on the memory area
Detach using shmdt
These are includes for using shared memory
#include<sys/ipc.h>
#include<sys/shm.h>
int shmid;
int shmkey = 12222;//u can choose it as your choice
int main()
{
//now your main starting
shmid = shmget(shmkey,1024,IPC_CREAT);
// 1024 = your preferred size for share memory
// IPC_CREAT its a flag to create shared memory
//now attach a memory to this share memory
char *shmpointer = shmat(shmid,NULL);
//do your work with the shared memory
//read -write will be done with the *shmppointer
//after your work is done deattach the pointer
shmdt(&shmpointer, NULL);
