>    If we run lttng-sessiond again, ust applications can get a new piece of shm and a new list of shm fds so double shm usages. Then if we kill lttng-sessiond, what the mostlikely happened is ust applications close the new list of shm fds and free new shm resource but keeping old shm still. In other word, we can not free this piece of shm unless we killing ust applications!!!
>   So Is there any possilbe that ust applications failed calling lttng_ust_objd_table_owner_cleanup()? Do you have ever see this problem? Do you have any advice to free the shm without killling ust applications(I tried to dig into kernel shm_open and /dev/shm, but not found any ideas)?
