Rust for Linux maintainers talk about future plans
The Linux kernel has added preliminary support for the Rust language since 6.1. Rust for Linux maintainer Miguel Ojeda was interviewed to talk about the current status and future of the project. He said that the current work is mainly to add enough abstraction to the upstream to prepare for the first batch of Rust drivers. The first batch of drivers to enter the upstream may include Asahi Linux's GPU driver, Android's Binder and NVMe drivers. They will set the benchmark for future Rust kernel abstractions and drivers. The process also requires the involvement of relevant kernel maintainers to evaluate and comment on the code. Once Rust for Linux is ready, one obvious advantage of using Rust in the kernel is the reduction of memory-related vulnerabilities. Previous reports have shown that 70% of vulnerabilities are due to memory safety issues in C/C++ codebases. If using Rust could eliminate most of these or lessen the severity of the vulnerabilities, that would mean improved security for end users, less need for emergency kernel patches, and potentially fewer breaches for businesses. The Asahi Linux project has released an early version of the driver that supports Apple's AGX GPU processors.
