  • Using shared memory to transport data between server processes
    Patent number: 10467151
    Abstract: Data is dynamically shared from a first process to a second process by creating a shared memory segment, obtaining a file descriptor referencing the shared memory segment, and mapping the shared memory segment in an address space of a first process. The file descriptor is sent to a second process. Responsive to receiving the file descriptor, the shared memory segment is mapped in an address space of the second process. Via the shared memory segment, data from the first process is shared to the second process.
