Just a note about this: It is possible that we can do something similar on Linux in the future, since the Linux kernel may be gaining an interface called ‘memfd’ for memory backed file descriptors, which is apparently required for their kdbus stuff. I’ve briefly glanced over the code, and if I read that correctly, it's just anonymous shared memory regions with an additional interface allowing you to ‘seal’ them (i.e. mark them as read-only). No idea why this couldn’t be done as part of the traditional POSIX shm API, but I will keep an eye on it just in case it proves useful.
