Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for November 21, 2024 [LWN.net]

This edition contains the following feature content:

RVKMS and Rust KMS bindings: before we can have graphics drivers in Rust, the kernel must provide a set of Rust bindings for its kernel mode setting functionality.
Two approaches to tightening restrictions on loadable modules: control over the symbols exported to loadable kernel modules has been an area of frequent discussion in the kernel community; two sets of patches show that there are still issues to resolve.
Dancing the DMA two-step: a new internal kernel API for high-performance DMA I/O.
Development statistics for 6.12: where the code in the 6.12 kernel came from.
Fedora KDE gets a promotion: there will be a new Fedora edition featuring the KDE desktop.
Book review: Run Your Own Mail Server: email does not have to be left in the hands of a small number of huge providers.

This week's edition also includes these inner pages:

Brief items: Brief news items from throughout the community.
Announcements: Newsletters, conferences, security updates, patches, and more.

November 28 is the Thanksgiving holiday in the US; following longstanding tradition, there will be no LWN Weekly Edition that day so that we can focus on food preparation, consumption, and digestion. There will be occasional updates to the site, and we'll be back in full force with the December 5 edition.

Please enjoy this week's edition, and, as always, thank you for supporting LWN.net.
