Rust in the Linux kernel

An RFC patch series that adds Rust support to the kernel has been posted. It aims to provide wrappers for the core kernel APIs and allow implementing kernel modules in safe Rust.

The series includes a work-in-progress Rust implementation of the Android binder driver.

See the cover letter for the high-level design outline and the blog post for a deeper explanation of the implementation of an example module.
