The Rust experiment
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The Rust support was merged in v6.1 into mainline in order to help in
|
|
determining whether Rust as a language was suitable for the kernel, i.e. worth
|
|
the tradeoffs.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the Rust support is primarily intended for kernel developers and
|
|
maintainers interested in the Rust support, so that they can start working on
|
|
abstractions and drivers, as well as helping the development of infrastructure
|
|
and tools.
|
|
|
|
If you are an end user, please note that there are currently no in-tree
|
|
drivers/modules suitable or intended for production use, and that the Rust
|
|
support is still in development/experimental, especially for certain kernel
|
|
configurations.
