[$] How to write Rust in the kernel: part 1

LWN.net - Pet, 06/20/2025 - 19:18

The Linux kernel is seeing a steady accumulation of Rust code. As it becomes more prevalent, maintainers may want to know how to read, review, and test the Rust code that relates to their areas of expertise. Just as kernel C code is different from user-space C code, so too is kernel Rust code somewhat different from user-space Rust code. That fact makes Rust's extensive documentation of less use than it otherwise would be, and means that potential contributors with user-space experience will need some additional instruction. This article is the first in a multi-part series aimed at helping existing kernel contributors become familiar with Rust, and helping existing Rust programmers become familiar with what the kernel does differently from the typical Rust project.

Intel Continues Working On Linear Address Space Separation "LASS" For Linux

[$] A distributed filesystem for archival systems: ngnfs

LWN.net - Pet, 06/20/2025 - 18:15
A new filesystem was the topic of a session led by Zach Brown at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF). The ngnfs filesystem is not a "next generation" NFS, as might be guessed from the name; Brown said that he did not think about that linkage ("I hate naming so much") until it was pointed out to him by Chuck Lever in an email. It is, instead, a filesystem for enormous data sets that are mostly stored offline.

Tag2upload is now ready for experimentation

LWN.net - Pet, 06/20/2025 - 15:13

Debian's long-awaited tag2upload service is now ready for Debian maintainers to use in some circumstances. Tag2upload makes it easier for maintainers to upload packages, by allowing them to push a signed Git commit that will automatically be picked up and built, instead of pushing a build from their local machine. LWN covered the discussion around the service in July of last year. With the timing of its readiness, it's likely to become more useful once Debian 13 ("trixie") is released.

Be very aware of the freeze! Do not just upload to unstable as your first test! Uploads to unstable, targeting trixie, can be done with tag2upload - but in most cases you will probably want to upload the same package to experimental first.
