Trying to load waydroid with waydroid container start showed message

[00:37:27] Failed to load ashmem driver
[00:37:27] modprobe: FATAL: Module ashmem_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/5.19.1-2-MANJARO
[00:37:27] Failed to load Ashmem driver

I tried ls -1 /dev/{ashmem,binderfs} and it gave the output:

ls: cannot access '/dev/ashmem': No such file or directory
/dev/binderfs:
anbox-binder
anbox-hwbinder
anbox-vndbinder
binder
binder-control
features
hwbinder
vndbinder

So is ashmem not present in latest manjaro kernel 5.19.1-2? How should I proceed installing waydroid? Is their an older kernel I can try?

open pamac, enable the aur repositories and use the search function. you will find the related packages that include ashmem. it’s a aur package not a official repository.

ashmem was removed from upstream kernels in 5.18. memfs was meant to replace it.

Since its removed from kernel, I managed to get ashmem from anbox-modules-dkms-git
