unix domain sockets within the kernel
|
|
| Kamal R. Prasad 2005-03-28, 6:18 pm |
| Hello,
I am using AIX 5.3. I would like to know if I can use unix domain
sockets from within the kernel (extension). If not, what is the
preferred mechanism to communicate efficiently between
kernel(extension) and user process?
thanks

Kernel calls, special devices, shared memory, signals. It depends on what
the kernel extension does.

Doing AIX support was the most monty-pythonesque
activity available at the time.
Eagerly awaiting my thin chocolat mint.

The preferred mechanism is message queue in AIX. sockets don't work in
kexts in aix.

They have a propretary culture -wherein anyone wishing to learn about
their kernel internals/backdoors must be a potential rival.
