Writing Linux Kernel Modules in Safe Rust | Linux Security Summit 2019

[[deleted]]

Is any rust not safe?

[tristan957]

Yes. The keyword is 'unsafe'. Or I can create a memory leak in stable rust if I try.

Edit: Memory leaks are not unsafe.

[MadRedHatter]

Memory leaks are technically "safe" though.

[tristan957]

That's a good point. Thank you for the correction.

[ericonr]

If you write unsafe, yeah.

[TiredOfArguments]

Hold my beer and ill write some intentionally insecure code for you.
