If youi're talking about "direct" sharing where Linux writes the data to disk, and z/OS can read it, then that's not (auditably) possible. Certainly NFS or SMB exported directories can be used, and with HiperSockets, the latency is almost negligible. You use more CPU that way, for the execution of the HiperSocket milli/microcode, but that would only start to show up at higher volumes of data transferred. You could do the same thing by "short circuiting" the traffic over a shared OSA card, with some additional latency added.
