Maybe you didn't read my last email:
If 2 different user-mode processes executing on 2 CPUs under 2 different
users want to access the same shared memory through the
shmctl(SHM_LOCK) / shmget(SHM_HUGETLB) / usr_shm_lock
primitives, they could compete/spin even though their user_structs
are different.

Can you please correct me if I am missing some crucial point of understanding ?

Or did you mean that I should update the ChangeLog with this kind of
description ?
