[$] A process for handling Rust code in the core kernel

5 hónap 3 hét óta
The 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit included a tense session on the use of Rust code in the kernel's filesystem layer. The Rust topic returned in 2025 in a session run by Andreas Hindborg, with a scope that also covered the storage and memory-management layers. A lot of progress has been made, and the discussion was less adversarial this year, but there are still process issues that need to be worked out.

A new home for kernel.org

5 hónap 3 hét óta
Akamai has sent out a press release saying that it is now hosting the kernel.org repositories.

The Linux kernel is massive — approximately 28 million lines of code. Since 2005, more than 13,500 developers from more than 1,300 different companies have contributed to the Linux kernel. Additionally, there are many kernel versions, and developers update the code constantly, distributing that code to developers who are working on various distributions of Linux. Akamai now delivers the infrastructure that these developers and their users rely on, at no cost, supporting the Git environments developers use to access kernel sources quickly, regardless of where they're based.
