[PATCH v4 09/28] rust: alloc: implement kernel `Box`

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

 



`Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type
with one of the kernel's allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or
`KVmalloc`.

In contrast to Rust's `Box` type, the kernel `Box` type considers the
kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports
allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains
independent from unstable features.

+/// The kernel's [`Box`] type.
+///
+/// `Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type with one of the kernel's
+/// allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`.
+///
+/// For non-zero-sized values, a [`Box`] will use the given allocator `A` for its allocation. For
+/// the most common allocators the type aliases `KBox`, `VBox` and `KVBox` exist.
+///
+/// It is valid to convert both ways between a [`Box`] and a raw pointer allocated with any
+/// `Allocator`, given that the `Layout` used with the allocator is correct for the type.
+///
+/// For zero-sized values the [`Box`]' pointer must be `dangling_mut::<T>`; no memory is allocated.
+///
+/// So long as `T: Sized`, a `Box<T>` is guaranteed to be represented as a single pointer and is
+/// also ABI-compatible with C pointers (i.e. the C type `T*`).
+///
+/// # Invariants
+///
+/// The [`Box`]' pointer always properly aligned and either points to memory allocated with `A` or,
+/// for zero-sized types, is a dangling pointer.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// let b = KBox::<u64>::new(24_u64, GFP_KERNEL)?;
+///
+/// assert_eq!(*b, 24_u64);
+///
+/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
+/// ```
