Re: [grpc-io] kernel mode

[Basem Barakat]

The gRPC framework like most frameworks is user space based  Assuming a Linux like os, so to relay rpcs from/to kernel the communication need to go through a user space. Not sure on which side is kernel: client or server ? But the principle remains the same: User space and kernel applications could communicate in many ways: Ioctl is once simple way: And depending on the type of communication eBPF could be more suitable ? The advantage of eBPF is already present in Linux kernel and not kernel modification is required, you will need to learn it as it has its own language but c like compilers and tool kit are available  Basem On Jul 27, 2023, at 10:36 AM, Patrick Gili <gili.patric...@gmail.com> wrote: Basem, would you mind expanding on your recommendation, "running in user space but using something like eBPF to read and relay..."?

However, if there is any sample example in grpc which is relaying the kernel commands would really help me understand. I want to know if there is any feature is available in grpc or a plugin that I could use to relay the kernel commands. Is there a delegation mechanism to userspace (where the gRCP client would be rooted) that could generate the client-side stubs, so we wouldn't have to write and maintain them manually?

I want to communicate over gRPC while in kernel mode. So there should not be any multithreading and use of minimal memory. What are the configurations to be used in proto file. Is there any documentation on that? Thanks, Smita -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "grpc.io" group.
