Kernel developer Cong Wang has introduced DAXFS, a new read-only filesystem designed for direct access to shared memory in Linux. Built on the Direct Access infrastructure, it bypasses traditional page caching to reduce memory overhead. The proposal aims to enable efficient sharing of data across kernels and devices.
