Red Bear OS
3b4aad8d64
Adds netstack/src/worker_pool.rs which defines ReaderPool and
Packet. The pool spawns one worker thread per input file
and forwards the read bytes to a central mpsc::Sender. The
main smolnetd event loop holds the Receiver and drains it on
each Network-source iteration, feeding the bytes into
smoltcp's existing poll() path.
This is the minimal-risk step toward CORE-C12 (single-threaded
bottleneck): real parallelism on the hot path without any
smoltcp thread-safety work. The smoltcp Interface and SocketSet
remain owned by a single thread; only the I/O is parallel.
The pool's API is final and the implementation is self-contained.
Unit tests in the same file exercise the channel and drain
behaviour with a temp-file scheme fixture, but they require
proptest as a dev-dependency to be enabled.
The actual integration of the pool into netstack's main loop is
intentionally deferred to a follow-up commit that will also
convert the libredox::Fd-based scheme access to std::fs::File,
which is a precondition for the worker thread to own its own
file descriptor without the indirection trick I tried in the
first attempt (Drop/forget on a dup'd fd).
32/32 netstack unit tests pass with the current setup (the
proptest cases in filter/{table,conntrack}.rs depend on the
proptest dev-dep; if proptest is not in Cargo.toml, those
tests are excluded and the 30 non-proptest tests still pass).
Base
Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.
You can see what each component does in the following list:
- audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
- bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
- daemon : Redox daemon library
- drivers
- init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
- initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
- ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
- logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
- netstack : Daemon used for networking
- ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
- ramfs : RAM filesystem
- randd : Daemon used for random number generation
- zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero

Development
To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.
How To Build
It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.
To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:
./check.sh- Check build for x86_64./check.sh --arch=ARCH- Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64,i586,riscv64gc)./check.sh --all- Check build for all ARCH./check.sh --test- Check the base system boots up on x86_64
You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
