Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:

You are corret, Davin. The concept of memory fd is a new Linux Kernel feature. 
It's not available on older Linux Kernels or on non-Linux OS.

To share memory fd segments between processes, the processes have to exchange 
or inherit the file descriptor somehow. Either the fd can be inherited from a 
parent process or send over an AF_UNIX socket using SOL_SOCKET / SCM_RIGHTS.
