It would seem that the best way to fix the inelegance of the patch - the shm_open and shm_unlink syscalls, the hacks on filp_open etc would be to do exactly that - make it a real fs, at least for open/unlink/openddir/readdir even if not for read/write -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
