I added msync before munmap, and data wasn't lost when I use MS_SYNC
flag. I also tried with MS_ASYNC and wait about more than 10 seconds,
but data was lost in this case.
However, the sample code invalidated mmap area by munmap already, and
cached data should be flushed, but it wasn't. and I called sync command
in shell also.
