[PATCH RFC 0/3] bcachefs: add framework for internal Rust code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds support for Rust code into bcachefs. This only enables
using Rust internally within bcachefs; there are no public Rust APIs
added. Rust support is hidden behind a new config option,
CONFIG_BCACHEFS_RUST. It is optional and bcachefs can still be built
with full functionality without rust.

I wasn't sure if this needed to be an RFC based on the current status
of accepting Rust code outside of the rust/ tree, so I designated it as
such to be safe. However, Kent plans to merge rust+bcachefs code in the
6.9 merge window, so I hope at least the first 2 patches in this series,
the ones that actually enable Rust for bcachefs, can be accepted.

#1 is a prerequisite in KBuild. In order to call bindgen commands in the
fs/bcachefs tree, the bindgen commands need to be defined in the
top-level scripts/Makefile.build along with the rustc commands, instead
of in rust/Makefile. This is the only patch outside of fs/bcachefs/ in
this series.

#2 creates the framework to use rust-bindgen in fs/bcachefs and
introduces the new config option to enable this. This patch does not
actually generate any Rust bindings; it just lays the foundation for
future patches to create bindings.

#3 demonstrates the new Rust functionality by implementing the module
entry and exit functions for bcachefs in Rust. The current C entry
and exit are retained so that bcachefs can still be built without Rust.
Given Kent's goal to use Rust more in bcachefs, the C functions will
presumably be dropped in the future.
