Ashmem is especially great example because upstream, having refused to take it for so long, ended up pulling their own NIH when they made the exact same thing but called it memfd. At least with a new kernel they could also fix various mistakes that have long since been enshrined in Linux. Like the dreadful approach to permissions & sandboxing. Not that Linux has anything it could easily do here, that's the curse of legacy. But still, it's a fundamentally wrong approach to how systems are used today vs. 50 years ago when many of these semantics were established.
