Linux 3.17 Lands Memfd, A KDBUS Prerequisite

[Toboe]

If only it used just sockets! Dbus also runs as a process, imagine that!

It's written using a programming language! Oh the horror!

[jonnor]

no arguing with irrationality..

someone better not tell 'em that dbus uses sockets, lest they try to build a kernel without socket support :-P

That would certainly help keeping the noise level down in the forums...

memfd has nothing to do with kdbus except that kdbus happens to use it. For details, see:

Thanks for the links it was interesting and it seems like a nice feature.

D-Bus is not a problem by itself. What I don't like is that kdbus/systemd is choking off what I used to like about GNU/Linux, namely its simplicity and fine control. Hence why I and several others use BSD and in my case, commercial UNIX now.

It's good that you have options and ultimately everyone should be happy then. Purely out of curiosity, which UNIX are you using?

IRIX for my IRIX boxes, but I've worked with Solaris and UNIXWare. Can't say I like either of them as much as IRIX. Really wish SGI would BSD license the system at the EOL
