Rust in the Linux Kernel - Implementing Complex Drivers

Explore the groundbreaking integration of Rust in the Linux kernel through this keynote address delivered at the RustLab Conference. Delve into the experiences and challenges of using Rust to build complex drivers for the Linux kernel, a project traditionally bound to C programming. Learn about the recent shift in kernel development that now allows for Rust implementation, opening new possibilities for driver projects. Gain insights into the special requirements of Linux kernel code and how Rust meets these demands. Discover the journey of developing sophisticated drivers using Rust and understand the implications of this language adoption for the future of Linux kernel development. This talk provides valuable knowledge for developers, system administrators, and anyone interested in the evolution of operating system kernels and programming languages.
