Permission denied using mmap on Windows

Bug report

I have a Windows service that creates a memory mapped file using the global scope and a client that reads the global scope. The problem is that the current implementation calls CreateFileMapping() instead of OpenFileMapping(). So when the client tries to connect the global scope, its throws a permission error.

The expected behavior is: Only the server has the permission the create a global memory mapped file and any client can read the created memory mapped file.

Here is a sample code:

server.py

from mmap import mmap
from pickle import load, dump


mm = mmap(-1, 32, tagname=r'Global\test')

last_request_id = None
while True:
    mm.seek(0)
    try:
        request_id = int(load(mm))
        if request_id != last_request_id:
            last_request_id = request_id
            print(request_id)
        
    except Exception:
        pass

client.py

from mmap import mmap
from pickle import dump


with mmap(-1, 32, tagname='Global\test') as mm:
    request_id = 1
    dump(request_id, mm)

Your environment

• CPython versions tested on: 3.11
• Operating system and architecture: Windows 11 - Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.819)

Comece em Modules/mmapmodule.c por volta da linha 1531 e leia o tratamento de mmap no Windows junto com a documentação de CreateFileMapping() e OpenFileMapping(). Reproduza o exemplo de server.py e client.py no Windows 11. Considera-se concluído quando o servidor puder criar o mapping Global e o cliente puder abri-lo e lê-lo sem um erro de permissão.
