    I don't think you can use "double standard" as a derogatory term when you're comparing the needs of kernelspace code and userspace code.

    ...plus, they're already planning to write their own `alloc` replacement if for no other reason that they need to support API features of the kernel allocator that are absent from the userspace allocator, like GFP flags:

    From this, it looks like they probably won't end up using liballoc directly (which is kind of what I was expecting as a very casual observer):

    Hi! Not a Google employee, but I'm volunteering on the Rust-for-Linux project which is bringing Rust bindings to the upstream linux kernel. A Google engineer is working on porting binder to Rust and is contributing as he implements it. See his comments here[0] and here[1].

    Look at this repository where we're working on adding rust bindings to the kernel. Example: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/pull/130

    It:

    - integrates rustc into the linux kernel build system

    - sets up automated binding generation to allow accessing C Kernel APIs from Rust using bindgen

    - Creates idiomatic rust wrappers around some of those bindings, which is meant to be used by device writers.

    There's more information in the Rust-for-Linux repo[0] (which is the origin for the linux in rust effort), and in the Documentation/rust[1] folder.
