[$] Linting Rust code in the kernel

Date:
Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:22:58 +0000

Description:
Klint is a Rust compiler extension developed by Gary Guo to run some
kernel-specific lint rules, which may also be useful for embedded system
development. He spoke about his
recent work on the project at Kangrejos 2025 . The next day, Alejandra Gonzlez
led a discussion about Rust's normal linter, Clippy . The two tools offer 
complementary approaches to analyzing Rust
kernel code, although both need some additional direction and support from
kernel developers to reach their full potential.
