I have some code that does this quite nicely using a variant of ramfs that
simply maintains a hash table of any swapped out pages (i.e.,
offset->swp_entry_t mappings.) The performance of this was excellent and simple
(code was less than ~200 lines). However, I can't post it right now since it
only supports the new shm_open() style virtual mappings (not the current SysV
IPC-style shmget/shmat/etc. system), plus I have not tested it recently and will
need to update it to work with current kernels. If anyone's interested in taking
this idea further, I'll try to fix the code for 2.4.0-test1 and post it later
this week.
