- ZenoArrow 10y agoI wonder if issues like this were part of the reason the release of kdbus (dbus as a kernel module) was delayed.
- tremon 10y agokdbus is mainly delayed because the kernel devs are unconvinced. In the last thread I read (which was likely over a year ago), there were architectural issues with the design that nobody on the kdbus side was willing/able to fix or explain.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoI thought one of the main kdbus devs was gregkh (one of the most senior Linux kernel maintainers), is that not the case? I did hear that there was due to be a redesign, but not sure what the issues were.
- lomnakkus 10y agoI believe this is the redesign: https://github.com/bus1/bus1 https://github.com/bus1/bus1 EDIT: Replaced with better link. (Old link: http://www.bus1.org/index.html http://www.bus1.org/index.html )

- tremon 10y agoI'm not sure if GregKH is involved in the actual implementation; he did step in to "foster" this project through the inclusion process, but several other maintainers were outspokenly unhappy about the review process and lack of follow-up ([1] and [2]). The current kdbus implementation has been withdrawn from rawhide [3], with no indication when it will be back. The most recent response from Linus I've been able to find is [4], roughly half a year before the rawhide removal.
