The initial bus1 patch posting

[Posted October 26, 2016 by corbet]

The bus1 message-passing mechanism is the successor to the "kdbus" project; it was covered here in August. The patches have now been posted for review. "While bus1 emerged out of the kdbus project, bus1 was started from scratch and the concepts have little in common. In a nutshell, bus1 provides a capability-based IPC system, similar in nature to Android Binder, Cap'n Proto, and seL4."

Does anyone know of a simple examples using the low-level bus1 api?

At the moment the only examples I'm aware of that work with the current version of bus1.ko are the tests in the bus1 out-of-tree kernel module git repository [1].

I'm working on a Rust library to wrap the kernel API but I'm making slow progress because it's pretty unclear from the docs how the Bus1 team envisage it being used in practice.
