The Linux Kernel is a very special codebase with a lot of restrictions on how you can write your code. In this talk, you will hear about how Rust has to adapt to work in the Linux Kernel. We will be looking at the kernel's extensive use of linked lists, and how we need to change our Arc to work in that environment, as well as the various unstable compiler features that we are using to make that happen.

Most people don't see the work that goes into maintaining open source software. It's not just about writing code — it's also about reviewing PRs, helping new contributors, answering questions, fixing bugs, and writing documentation. In this talk, you will hear stories that explore the invisible work of open source software maintenance and discuss the challenges and rewards of this important work.

Keynote: Rust in the Linux kernel

RustLab Conference
RustLab 50:44 11223 views

The Linux kernel is a project with a lot of special requirements on your code, and until late last year, one of those requirements was that you had to use C. Today, this is no longer true, and there are now several Linux kernel driver projects using Rust. In this talk, you will hear about the experience of using Rust in the Linux kernel, and the journey of building a complex driver.
