Hi folks, Here is my first version of using file semantics in shared memory. This obsoletes vm_private_data in vm_area_struct and allows posix shared memory. I implemented posix shm with its own namespace by extending filp_open and do_unlink by an additional parameter for the root inode. Also extending this to a complete filesystem should be easy (but not my target). Greetings Christoph P.S. this version is only tested on UP since I cannot access my SMP machine from home. I will stress test SMP next week.
