Comment:

 Hello

 First, did you try running it through the build bot? Maybe if there were
 so many problems, it would be worth it.

 Also, the two functions (`InterprocessSyncFile::getSyncMapMutex`,
 `InterprocessSyncFile::getSyncMap`), maybe they could be stand-alone
 functions that live in the anonymous namespace. There is probably no need
 to have them in the header of the class.

 And, the thing with `EDEADLK`, I'm not sure this is the correct behaviour
 ‒ I can't imagine where trying to lock the mutex that is being locked by
 the same thread makes sense in well-designed application. I don't actually
 mind this behaviour much, because the method is probably not going to be
 used outside of unit tests anyway, so I don't care much, but I wanted to
 say that the behaviour of debian might be reasonable approach too.

 Anyway, I don't think I need another review round for the two functions,
 so if you want to change them, go ahead and then after running through the
 build bot, please merge.

 Thank you
