In Rust 1.63.0, Clippy introduced the `as_underscore` lint [1]: > The conversion might include lossy conversion or a dangerous cast that > might go undetected due to the type being inferred. > > The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always > specifying the type. Always specifying the type is especially helpful in function call contexts where the inferred type may change at a distance. Specifying the type also allows Clippy to spot more cases of `useless_conversion`. The primary downside is the need to specify the type in trivial getters. There are 4 such functions: 3 have become slightly less ergonomic, 1 was revealed to be a `useless_conversion`. While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
