Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v1 5/5] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5a2bd04000-7f5a32e52000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1845 /memfd:strategy (deleted)

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v2 6/6] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-02-23 13:42 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f5d29d94000-7f5d30e00000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1830 /memfd:main (deleted)

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)
7f90d5126000-7f914de00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

7f958de00000-7f95954aa000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5478 /memfd:strategy (deleted)
7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent

Advantages of using anon files are following:

  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)
7f90d5126000-7f914de00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

7f958de00000-7f95954aa000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5478 /memfd:strategy (deleted)
7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent

Advantages of using anon files are following:

  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)
7f90d5126000-7f914de00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

7f958de00000-7f95954aa000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5478 /memfd:strategy (deleted)
7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent

Advantages of using anon files are following:

  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)
7f90d5126000-7f914de00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

7f958de00000-7f95954aa000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5478 /memfd:strategy (deleted)
7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

* [PATCH v4 7/8] Use anonymous files to back shared memory segments
@ 2025-03-15 15:39 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent
to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Advantages of using anon files are following:

* We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file
  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

7f90cde00000-7f90d5126000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 5463 /memfd:main (deleted)

7f95954aa000-7f95cde00000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.

Allow to use anonymous files for shared memory, instead of plain
anonymous memory. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it
lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent

Advantages of using anon files are following:

  operations (modification, truncation, you name it).

* The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it
  comes to process maps. Here is how it looks like

* By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump,
  making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps
  to process.

The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific.
