Thank you Amir, this is incredibly helpful.

I hadn't thought about offloading the allocator to userspace, but now that
you mention it, it does make more sense given the server already manages
most of the backing file lifecycle. Thanks for that.

The two bugs are clear, I overlooked them. I'll scrutinize my code harder
from now on.

Since you asked whether Miklos agrees, I'll wait for his response. However
I will start learning about it right away.

And yeah! I am a student, an LFX kernel mentee under Shuah Khan.

Thanks,
Mahad
