Dave Airlie, a Distinguished Engineer at Crimson Hat, speaks with host Gregory M. Kapfhammer about Linux kernel upkeep. After over-viewing the size and construction of the Linux kernel, they dive deep into the overview and validation of kernel patches, drawing on examples from the GPU subsystem. After discussing the options and advantages of the Linux kernel’s upkeep mannequin, in addition they discover kernel upkeep finest practices and the supporting instruments for these practices. Dave and Gregory additionally focus on subjects equivalent to the mixing of Rust code within the Linux kernel and the methods by which AI-driven code overview are influencing kernel upkeep.
