    [$] RVKMS and Rust KMS bindings

    Date:
    Wed, 20 Nov 2024 15:39:22 +0000

    Description:
    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.
