> The connectx() functionality is valuable, and should be added to Linux one way or another. It's not trivial to get all its use cases right. Hopefully, this blog post shows how to achieve this in the best way given the operating system API constraints. I think this write-up is valuable since it shows a deficiency that impacts real-world industry usage. This kind of public explanation of the problem and workaround is perfect ammunition to get support behind such an initiative. Also given that darwin already supports this is another point in their favour. A few times during this read I thought "that was a bad decision on their part" but upon completing the article I changed my mind. Their needs are definitely complex but they aren't unreasonable. It seems like having kernel support for their use cases is appropriate.
