[PATCH] shmdt cannot detach not-alined shm segment cleanly.
sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().) This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt() (vma->vm_end - addr) < size addr == return address of shmat() size == shmsize, argments to shmget() size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end, which is aligned.
