2024-08-27rust: alloc: eschew `Box<MaybeUninit<T>>::write`Jubilee Young
Upstream Rust's libs-api team has consensus for stabilizing some of `feature(new_uninit)`, but not for `Box<MaybeUninit<T>>::write`. Instead, we can use `MaybeUninit<T>::write`, so Rust for Linux can drop the feature after stabilization. That will happen after merging, as the FCP has completed [1]. This is required before stabilization because remaining-unstable API will be divided into new features. This code doesn't know about those yet. It can't: they haven't landed, as the relevant PR is blocked on rustc's CI testing Rust-for-Linux without this patch. [ The PR has landed [2] and will be released in Rust 1.82.0 (expected on 2024-10-17), so we could conditionally enable the new unstable feature (`box_uninit_write` [3]) instead, but just for a single `unsafe` block it is probably not worth it. For the time being, I added it to the "nice to have" section of our unstable features list. - Miguel ] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63291#issuecomment-2183022955 [1] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129416 [2] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/129397 [3] Signed-off-by: Jubilee Young <workingjubilee@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Trevor Gross <tmgross@umich.edu> [ Reworded slightly. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
2024-05-05rust: kernel: remove redundant importsMiguel Ojeda
Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports. In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports [1], e.g.: error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly --> rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9 | 38 | use crate::bindings; | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`. Thus clean them up. Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude" above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

2024-04-16rust: kernel: remove usage of `allocator_api` unstable featureWedson Almeida Filho
With the adoption of `BoxExt` and `VecExt`, we don't need the functions provided by this feature (namely the methods prefixed with `try_` and different allocator per collection instance). We do need `AllocError`, but we define our own as it is a trivial empty struct.

2024-04-16rust: alloc: introduce the `BoxExt` traitWedson Almeida Filho
Make fallible versions of `new` and `new_uninit` methods available in `Box` even though it doesn't implement them because we build `alloc` with the `no_global_oom_handling` config. They also have an extra `flags` parameter that allows callers to pass flags to the allocator.
