Hi Joshua,

Thanks for the feedback! In the first patch, both shmem and mmap operations are present, but I hadn’t introduced any logic to distinguish between them yet. That distinction is added in the second patch through a new API.

Hi Suresh,

Yes, this makes sense to me. I think what I was getting at was that we could still make a conditional statement like

if (type == FILE_SHMEM) ksft_print_msg("Unable to create shmem file.\n")' else if (type == FILE_MMAP) ksft_print_msg("Unable to create mmap file.\n");

(or use a switch statement)

...

And just refactor it in patch 2, as opposed to changing the behavior. But this is mostly a nit. If you are planning to merge both patches in one patch in the next version, then all of these comments shouldn't matter : -)

Looking forward to the next version, have a great day! Joshua
