Mentorship Session: Writing Linux Kernel Modules in Rust

[Leandro Coutinho]

Hi,

I don't know if it was already shared here, but Wedson did a nice presentation
for the Linux Foundation:

Mentorship Session: Writing Linux Kernel Modules in Rust
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/webinars/writing-linux-kernel-modules-in-rust/

He uses Neovim with rust-analyzer.
It's nice that it provides code navigation, completion, pop-up
documentation, ... cool stuff
Here's a basic setup for those who wanna try:

And if you like to use VS Code, it's even simpler, just run:
1. make rust-analyzer
2. open VS Code from the project root folder (where rust-project.json
was created).
3. install rust-analyzer extension

I tested a small refactoring, changed a function name, and it renamed in
all files that use it.
