Subject: [PATCH v9 2/2] scripts: checkpatch: add RUST_UNWRAP lint
Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2026 15:49:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260207224907.234815-3-jason.kei.hall@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260207224907.234815-1-jason.kei.hall@gmail.com>
Warn against the use of .unwrap() and .expect() unless accompanied by
a '// PANIC:' comment. This enforces safety standards in the Rust-
for-Linux project until upstream Clippy lints are integrated.
Suggested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
