[$] Using LKMM atomics in Rust
Wednesday October 16, 2024. 05:05 PM , from LWN.net
Rust, like C, has its own memory model describing how concurrent access to the
same data by multiple threads can behave. The Linux kernel, however, has its own ideas. The Linux kernel memory model (LKMM) is subtly different from both the standard C memory model and Rust's model. At Kangrejos, Boqun Feng gave a presentation about the need to reconcile the memory models used by Rust and the kernel, including a few potential avenues for doing so. While no consensus was reached, it is an area of active discussion.
