    [$] Bus1: a new Linux interprocess communication proposal
    Anyone who has been paying attention to Linux kernel development in
    recent years would be aware that IPC — interprocess communication — is not
    a solved problem. There are certainly many partial solutions, from pipes
    and signals, through sockets and shared memory, to more special-purpose
    solutions like Cross Memory
    Attach and Android's binder    . But it seems there
    are still some use cases that aren't fully addressed by current solutions,
    leading to new solutions being occasionally proposed to try to meet those needs.
    The latest proposal is called "bus1".
