  • Except you’re wrong about them wanting to put Rust code in the DMA subtree. As per the article linked below by M1ch431:

    In a message to the Linux kernel mailing list, Hellwig wrote: “No Rust code in kernel/dma, please.” For what it’s worth, the patch added code to the rust/kernel portion of the Linux source tree, not kernel/dma, as far as we can tell.

    All they were doing is adding an abstraction layer, within the already existing Rust code, so that rust drivers could communicate with the C DMA code in a uniform and predictable manner. It would have put far more work on maintainers, both C and Rust alike, to have each and every driver implement its own abstraction to the DMA API. Issues would have been/will be filed against the kernel/dma subtree in error due to issues with these myriad abstraction layers.


  • Are you incapable of using a search engine? It’s the top result. “Fixed That For You”. What I was calling out is you calling it a “hand movement” which is a right-wing dogwhistle, and one you’ve repeated again in your follow up comment to me. It was very clearly a nazi salute. He did it twice. Call it what it was.
