Shared memory can be used in place of first-in-first-out queues (FIFOs) for communication between Linux operating system user processes and real-time Kernel modules. Shared memory has some features (e.g., fast access to large data structures, multiple readers) that make it more suitable than FIFOs in some systems. This documentation describes how to set up shared memory, and how to use it for consistent reading, writing, and queuing of data between user and kernel processes.
