If mmap maps a file or device into memory, how do I do the reverse? I have some already-allocated memory, and I want to create a file descriptor from it that I can pass around. (shm_open doesn't do this, because I already have allocated memory.) Apparently Windows can do this: you can create a handle from some arbitrary region of user-allocated memory. Can Linux?
