Summary

Address issues identified by technical implementation validation for blocking recvfrom().

Important Fixes

  • Spurious wakeup test (test_spurious_wakeup_handling) - Verifies correct behavior when multiple threads wait on same socket and one consumes the packet
  • Interrupt safety documentation (test_interrupt_safety_documentation) - Executable documentation for syscall/softirq deadlock prevention pattern
  • Comprehensive sys_recvfrom docs - Documents race condition handling (double-check pattern), interrupt safety, packet delivery paths, and spurious wakeups

Minor Fixes

  • Concurrent stress test (concurrent_recv_stress.rs) - Forks 4 children that all block on recvfrom concurrently to stress test wake mechanism
  • Loopback vs NIC path docs - Documents the two packet delivery paths and their differences

Test plan

  • Build succeeds
  • Boot stages test passes
  • Kthread stress test passes

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Address issues identified by technical implementation validation:

Important fixes:
- Add test_spurious_wakeup_handling() - verifies correct behavior when
  multiple threads wait on same socket and one consumes the packet
- Add test_interrupt_safety_documentation() - executable documentation
  for syscall/softirq deadlock prevention pattern
- Add comprehensive sys_recvfrom documentation covering race condition
  handling, interrupt safety, packet delivery paths, and spurious wakeups

Minor fixes:
- Add concurrent_recv_stress.rs userspace test - forks 4 children that
  all block on recvfrom concurrently to stress test wake mechanism
- Document loopback vs NIC packet delivery path differences
