[$] RVKMS and Rust KMS bindings

Wednesday November 20, 2024. 04:39 PM , from LWN.net
At the 2024 X.Org Developers
Conference (XDC), Lyude Paul gave a talk on the work she has been doing
as part of the Nova
project, which is an effort build an NVIDIA
GPU driver in Rust. She wanted to provide an introduction to RVKMS, which
is being used to develop Rust kernel mode setting (KMS)
bindings; RVKMS is a port of the virtual KMS (VKMS)
driver to Rust. In addition, she wanted to give her opinion on Rust, and why she
thinks it is
a 'game-changer for the kernel', noting that the reasons are not
related to the oft-mentioned, 'headline' feature of the language: memory
safety.
