That sounds like a good idea. I will queue it up for next version of patch series.

It can happen before or after the first mmap which will establish the start address and size. Hence I have to account 
for both cases.

ENOMEM sounded like the right value to return from msharefs_get_inode() in case of failure. On the other hand, there 
isn't much of a reason to not just return the return value from msharefs_fill_mm(). I can change that.

Thanks for the review.
