Rust SPDM requester proposed for Linux device authentication
Alistair Francis’s v5 series adds a memory-safe SPDM stack and PCIe CMA path so the kernel can treat untrusted device replies as hostile until verified.

BPF unwinding lets Rust and C++ keep their destructors
New unwind instructions aim to make exceptions and RAII viable in BPF just as Rust is being pushed into parsing untrusted kernel-facing protocols, trading verifier complexity for safer language runtimes.
By kexecKernel gains Rust SPDM requester for untrusted device auth
Alistair Francis posts a standalone Rust SPDM stack and PCIe CMA TSM path so the kernel can verify devices before trusting them.
By oopsRust Binder prepares to retire its C twin as kernel rewrites move past experiment status
Binder deletion, a Rust-only SPDM requester, and unconditional per VMA locks together shift the argument from whether Rust belongs in the kernel to what happens when a Rust implementation becomes the one that wins.
By kexecRust Binder parity makes C removal a real choice
A push to delete the legacy C Binder driver, a Rust SPDM requester for untrusted device auth, and unconditional VMA locks together force the kernel to decide whether dual maintenance ends in security-sensitive paths.

Alistair Francis aims the smallest upstream SPDM stack at untrusted PCIe and related devices, with CMA wired through the TSM path.
