*shudder*.. yes. But you're again opening two files. The only advantage of this
over userspace writing its own files is that the kernel cleans things up for
you.
However from what I understood android runs apps as individual users, and I
think we can do per user tmpfs mounts. So app dies, user exits, mount goes
*poof*.

It is.. although I've myself never had trouble with that. Most every memory
debugging that I've used/written over the past two decades was adequately able
to identify memory regions.
