Not all architectures have core::sync::atomic::AtomicU64 available. In
particular, 32-bit x86 doesn't support it. AtomicU32 is available
everywhere, so use that instead.

Hopefully we can add AtomicU64 to Rust-for-Linux more broadly, so this
won't be an issue, but it's not supported in core from upstream Rust:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/atomic/#portability

This can be tested on 32-bit x86 UML via:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --make_options LLVM=1 --kconfig_add CONFIG_RUST=y --kconfig_add CONFIG_64BIT=n --kconfig_add CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=n

Fixes: 3253aba3408a ("rust: block: introduce `kernel::block::mq` module")

Hi all,

I encountered this build error with Rust/UML since the kernel::block::mq
stuff landed. I'm not 100% sure just swapping AtomicU64 with AtomicU32
is correct -- please correct me if not -- but this does at least get the
Rust/UML/x86-32 builds here compiling and running again.

(And gives me more encouragement to go to the Rust atomics talk at
Plumbers.)

Cheers,
-- David

I would probably go with AtomicUsize over AtomicU32 in this case.

Switching to 32-bit directly makes it vulnerable to counter overflow
issue. If 32-bit atomics are to be used for this, saturation logic must
be implemented to deal with it.

Ideally we should just use `refcount_t` instead of custom atomic ops.
Although it appears that the rust block driver needs a cmpxchg which
refcount_t doesn't provide.

Kernel has a 64-bit atomic implementation which is backed by spinlocks
if the architecture doesn't support it. Although, I think for the
purpose in rust block, it's unlikely to be necessary.

Best,
Gary
