Sashiko Now Providing AI Reviews On Rust Code For The Linux Kernel

([AI] 5 Hours Ago Sashiko Covering Rust-For-Linux)


A few days ago Google engineers went public with [1]Sashiko with their agentic AI code review for the Linux kernel . The Google Gemini Pro powered AI code review service is automatically monitoring the Linux kernel mailing list for new patch submissions and has proven useful already. Interest continues to build by upstream Linux kernel stakeholders around Sashiko and the latest addition is now covering the Rust-For-Linux mailing list submissions.

Sashiko is now providing its agentic AI code review services on the rust-for-linux mailing list, which is the area where new Rust code submissions for the Linux kernel land.

At the moment this is simply expanding to cover the additional mailing list and without any custom Rust prompts at this time. Thus with time as more customizations are made in catering the agentic code review to the Rust programming language code for the Linux kernel, it should get better.

Miguel Ojeda mentioned in the [3]announcement of Sashiko coverage for Rust-For-Linux:

"It currently doesn't have custom Rust prompts, so it is likely we can improve the reviews over time.

For instance, Gary is working on some prompts, I plan to add e.g. our guidelines rules, we could also do things like add skills like a Coccinelle for Rust one to pair it with the recently added Coccinelle one (i.e. for C), and so on (Cc Tathagata)."

Sashiko's code review of the Rust-For-Linux code can be found on [4]Sashiko.dev .

The big problem with pornography is defining it. You can't just
say it's pictures of people naked. For example, you have these
primitive African tribes that exist by chasing the wildebeest on foot,
and they have to go around largely naked, because, as the old tribal
saying goes: "N'wam k'honi soit qui mali," which means, "If you think
you can catch a wildebeest in this climate and wear clothes at the same
time, then I have some beach front property in the desert region of
Northern Mali that you may be interested in."
So it's not considered pornographic when National Geographic
publishes color photographs of these people hunting the wildebeest
naked, or pounding one rock onto another rock for some primitive reason
naked, or whatever. But if National Geographic were to publish an
article entitled "The Girls of the California Junior College System
Hunt the Wildebeest Naked," some people would call it pornography. But
others would not. And still others, such as the Spectacularly Rev.
Jerry Falwell, would get upset about seeing the wildebeest naked.
