Well, there's not really anything that allows process A to arbitrarily modify process B's memory. The only thing that's close is memory-mapped files, and that's already what we use to share image data between the client and the compositor. There's also memfd, which is "more secure" than a memory-mapped tmpfile, simply because it allows sealing the fd, so you can be sure it will never change as you try to read from it. But memfd isn't a public API yet. What exactly are you trying to do here? [Wang, Quanxian] I want to create a protocol to get the output data from compositor, I don't know where to put it for client. So shared memory should be a good way to do that. Anyway, I need to check it how to make it happen. Thanks for your idea.

It seems like user data mechanism. Any way to implement that?
