Description:
Danilo Krummrich gave a talk at Kangrejos 2024 focusing on the question of how the Rust-for-Linux project could improve at getting device and driver abstractions upstream. As a case study, he used some of his recent work that attempts to make it possible to write a PCI driver entirely in Rust. There wasn't time to go into as much detail as he would have liked, but he did demonstrate that it is possible to interface with the kernel's module loader in
a way that is much harder to
screw up than the current standard approach in C.
