When a new file is created under msharefs, allocate a new mm_struct
that will hold the VMAs for mshare region. Also allocate structure
to defines the mshare region and add a read operation to the file
that returns this information about the mshare region. Currently
this information is returned as a struct:

struct mshare_info {
	unsigned long start;
	unsigned long size;
};

This gives the start address for mshare region and its size.

You might want to make these explicitly u64, since this is userspace
ABI and you never know when someone will want to do something crazy like
run 32-bit programs with mshare files.

Also you might want to add some padding fields for flags, future
expansion, etc.

That sounds like a good idea. I will queue it up for next version of patch series.

Hmmm, read()ing out the shared mapping information.  Heh.

When does this case happen?  Is it before anybody mmaps this file into
an address space?


It can happen before or after the first mmap which will establish the start address and size. Hence I have to account for both cases.

Is it intentional to clobber the msharefs_fill_mm return value and
replace it with ENOMEM?

ENOMEM sounded like the right value to return from msharefs_get_inode() in case of failure. On the other hand, there isn't much of a reason to not just return the return value from msharefs_fill_mm(). I can change that.

Thanks for the review.
