Is there any way to let compositor set the data in client space and then return back to client?

[Jasper St. Pierre]

Well, there's not really anything that allows process A to arbitrarily
modify process B's memory. The only thing that's close is memory-mapped
files, and that's already what we use to share image data between the
client and the compositor.

There's also memfd, which is "more secure" than a memory-mapped tmpfile,
simply because it allows sealing the fd, so you can be sure it will never
change as you try to read from it. But memfd isn't a public API yet.

What exactly are you trying to do here?
