Arc in the Linux Kernel – Alice Ryhl

The Linux Kernel is a very special codebase with a lot of restrictions on how you can write your code. In this talk, you will hear about how Rust has to adapt to work in the Linux Kernel. We will be looking at the kernel’s extensive use of linked lists, and how we need to change our Arc to work in that environment, as well as the various unstable compiler features that we are using to make that happen.
