2/ …the current Rust support in the #Linux #kernel is pretty basic:

Miguel merged v2 of the rust core additions (aka "the first batch of changes to upstream the rest of the #Rustang support"(¹)). They are in #Linux-next already and it looks like he plans to submit them for inclusion in #kernel 6.2: 1/ (¹) reminder, …

From the #QEMU blog: Introduction to Zoned Storage Emulation – "QEMU hasn’t directly supported ZBDs before so this article explains how they work and why QEMU needed to be extended."

Tejun Heo proposed a "BPF extensible scheduler class" for the #Linux #kernel's process scheduler which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as #BPF (aka #eBPF) programs:
