Commit Message

Christophe Milard Oct. 24, 2016, 9:23 a.m. UTC
A new flag called _ODP_ISHM_LINK is added to _ishm. When this flag is
specified at reserve() time, a link ("/tmp/odp-<pid>-shm-<blockname>"
where <pid> is the process ID of the main ODP instatiation process and
<blockname> is the block name given at reserve time) is created, linking
to the underlying block file (either in /tmp or in hugetlbfs).
This link is meant to be used by processes external to ODP willing to
share this memory.
