What previous "bad IPC" mechanisms were integrated into mainline Linux? Only one I can think of is sysv shared memory.

  Most recently, kdbus. It wasn't even ABI-compatible.

    kdbus was never merged to mainline.

      Maybe that's why it's Bad :?

      Sorry, I took 'integrated' to mean something other than merged. No, kdbus was never part of the kernel repo.

  All of them :) Pipes are too specialized, localSockets are kind of a pain, etc.
