    [$] Not-so-anonymous virtual memory areas
    Computing terminology can be counterintuitive at times, but even a
    longtime participant in the industry may have to look twice at the notion
    of named anonymous memory. That, however, is just the concept that this
    patch set     posted by Suren Baghdasaryan proposes to add. There are, it
    seems, developers who find the idea useful enough to not only overcome the
    initial cognitive dissonance that comes with it, but also to resurrect an
    eight-year-old patch to get it into the kernel.
