nice project! curious how the rust ownership model works in a monolithic kernel context. are the lifetimes of kernel structures associated with a process "owned" by the process itself somehow?

I’m not sure this answers what you asked, objects that are referenced from multiple objects are simply wrapped with Arc<T>.

sortof. i'm just kinda curious if any of rust's cool memory management features work particularly well or have to be bypassed in a monolithic kernel context.
