memory management with mmap

[Sengottuvelan S]

Hi Mulyadi

I am able to do mmap and access virual-memory address and pages for a
single process from user-space and working fine. I am not sure how to do it
for multiple processes for shared resources using mmap.  I better explain
in detail here what I am experimenting it.

for example:

Kernel allocates kmalloc or vmalloc of 100 pages and set those pages
as reserved. Kernel uses these pages to send/receive data to Process A or B
depends on a condition.

Process A and B do mmap those region to get/set data on those
virtual-addresses/pages because I want faster access from userpace to
kernel.

Anyone knows if this will work with mmap?. Please let me know  if anyother
way to do it.
