Deallocation Of Shared Memory Segments

A method, comprising:

• executing a first thread, wherein the first thread accesses at least one shared memory segment of a set of shared memory segments in a memory region;
• marking the memory region as closed;
• instructing the first thread to suspend execution;
• responsive to determining that the first thread was suspended during execution of a function comprising a memory access operation:
• causing the first thread to execute, upon resuming execution, a thread-terminating instruction that terminates the first thread;
• subsequent to the first thread being terminated, deallocating the at least one shared memory segment from the memory region;
• reclaiming the memory region;
• wherein the method is performed by at least one device including a hardware processor.

A system, comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• wherein the system is configured to execute operations using the at least one hardware processor, the operations comprising:
• executing a first thread, wherein the first thread accesses at least one shared memory segment of a set of shared memory segments in a memory region;
• marking the memory region as closed;
• instructing the first thread to suspend execution;
• responsive to determining that the first thread was suspended during execution of a function comprising a memory access operation:
• causing the first thread to execute, upon resuming execution, a thread-terminating instruction that terminates the first thread;
• subsequent to the first thread being terminated, deallocating the at least one shared memory segment from the memory region;
• reclaiming the memory region.
