Here is another problem for the existing application, the mmap() from
the mmap offset or exportbuffer fd would not create a reference to
buffer in this step(while the exportbuffer would create one itself).

When you delete a buffer, you may not release it from its virtual memory
space, leaving a corrupted virtual memory space. Also this behavior is
right, because mmap(2) says:

"After  the  mmap()  call has returned, the file descriptor, fd, can be
closed immediately without invalidating the map‐ping."
