Greetings, So here is a patchset to add Rust skeleton codes to the current EROFS implementation. The implementation is deeply inspired by the current C implementation, and it's based on a generic erofs_sys crate[1] written by me. The purpose is to potentially replace some of C codes to make to make full use of Rust's safety features and better optimization guarantees. Many of the features (like compression inodes) still fall back to C implementation because of my limited time and lack of Rust counterparts. However, the Extended Attributes work purely in Rust. Some changes are done to the original C code. 1) Some of superblock operations are modified slightly to make sure memory allocation and deallocation are done correctly when interacting with Rust. 2) A new rust_helpers.c file is introduced to help Rust to deal with self-included EROFS API without exporting types that are not interpreted in Rust. 3) A new rust_bindings.h is introduced to provide Rust functions externs with the same function signature as Rust side so that C-side code can use the bindings easily. 4) CONFIG_EROFS_FS_RUST is added in dir.c, inode.c, super.c, data.c, and xattr.c to allow C code to be opt out and uses Rust implementation. 5) Some macros and function signatures are tweaked in internal.h with the compilation options. Note that, since currently there is no mature Rust VFS implementation landed upstream, this patchset only uses C bindings internally and each unsafe operation is examined. This implementation only offers C-ABI-compatible functions impls and gets its exposed to original C implementation as either hooks or function pointers. Also note that, this patchset only uses already-present self-included EROFS API and it uses as few C bindings generated from bindgen as possible, only inode, dentry, file and dir_context related are used, to be precise. Since the EROFS community is pretty interested in giving Rust a try, I think this patchset will be a good start for Rust EROFS. This patchset is based on the latest EROFS development tree. And the current codebase can also be found on my github repo[2].
