Re: Why don't shared anonymous mappings work?

And of course the last reason I just thought of, which is probably the real reason.

Currenlty anonymous pages if the are writable are assumed to have exactly
one mapping, or if it is in the swap cache the page is assumed to be read only.

So reusing the swap inode could be a real problem.
