Yes, that is in patch 9. A second mmap will result in EINVAL until patch 9 irrespective of address and size passed to mmap.

mshare_data is superset and internal while mshare_info is what is sent back to userspace when it reads a file 
representing an mshare region.

Since this is for the root inode, the default is so any process can create mshare region in msharefs which I think is 
most flexible. Individual userspace app can create mshare regions with any permissions they deem fit using open(). Does 
that make sense?
