It might not be totally crazy to back it by tmpfs.
interesting. how do you propose to do it?
Something like:
- create /umh_module_tempxxx dir
- mount tmpfs there
- copy elf into it and exec it?
I think the idea is that it's an internal tmpfs mount that only
the kernel has access too.
That's what I was imagining. There's precedent. For example, there's
a very short piece of code that does it in
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gemfs.c.
I can do "monkey see monkey do" approach which will look like:
type = get_fs_type("tmpfs");
fs = kern_mount(type);
/* for each request_umh("foo") */
file = shmem_file_setup_with_mnt(fs, "umh_foo");
do {
pagecache_write_begin(file,...);
memcpy()
pagecache_write_end();
} while (umh_elf_size);
do_execve_file(file);
fput(file);
while keeping fs mounted forever?
is there better way?
