/**
* Shared memory block info
A new flag called _ODP_ISHM_LINK is added to _ishm. When this flag is specified at reserve() time, a link ("/tmp/odp-<pid>-shm-<blockname>" where <pid> is the process ID of the main ODP instatiation process and <blockname> is the block name given at reserve time) is created, linking to the underlying block file (either in /tmp or in hugetlbfs). This link is meant to be used by processes external to ODP willing to share this memory.
