rust: kernel: mark as `#[inline]` all `From::from()`s for `Error`

2026-03-27T11:49:00+00:00

There was a recent request [1] to mark as `#[inline]` the simple `From::from()` functions implemented for `Error`. Thus mark all of the existing impl From<...> for Error { fn from(err: ...) -> Self { ... } } functions in the `kernel` crate as `#[inline]`.

rust: types: add FOREIGN_ALIGN to ForeignOwnable

2025-07-14T21:55:24+00:00

The current implementation of `ForeignOwnable` is leaking the type of the opaque pointer to consumers of the API. This allows consumers of the opaque pointer to rely on the information that can be extracted from the pointer type. To prevent this, change the API to the version suggested by Maira Canal (link below): Remove `ForeignOwnable::PointedTo` in favor of a constant, which specifies the alignment of the pointers returned by `into_foreign`. With this change, `ArcInner` no longer needs `pub` visibility, so change it to private.

rust: xarray: Add an abstraction for XArray

2025-05-01T09:37:59+00:00

`XArray` is an efficient sparse array of pointers. Add a Rust abstraction for this type. This implementation bounds the element type on `ForeignOwnable` and requires explicit locking for all operations. Future work may leverage RCU to enable lockless operation.
