[v10,0/8] Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap

Message

Alice Ryhl Nov. 29, 2024, 4:32 p.m. UTC

This updates the vm_area_struct support to use the approach we discussed
at LPC where there are several different Rust wrappers for
vm_area_struct depending on the kind of access you have to the vma. Each
case allows a different set of operations on the vma.

This depends on several PULLs that have landed / are landing during the
currently ongoing merge window.

Changes in v10:
- Update docs for `set_io`.
- Check address in `zap_page_range_single`.
- Completely redo the last patch.
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v9:
- Be more explicit about VmAreaNew being used with f_ops->mmap().
- Point out that clearing VM_MAYWRITE is irreversible.
- Use __vm_flags to set the flags.
- Use as_ and into_ prefixes for conversions.
- Update lock_vma_under_rcu docs and commit msg
- Mention that VmAreaRef::end is exclusive.
- Reword docs for zap_page_range_single.
- Minor fixes to flag docs.
- Add way to access current->mm without a refcount increment.
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v8:
- Split series into more commits to ease review.
- Improve read locks based on Lorenzo's doc: either the mmap or vma lock
  can be used.
- Get rid of mmap write lock because it's possible to avoid the need for
  it.
- Do not allow invalid flag combinations on VmAreaNew.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v7:
- Make the mmap read/write lock guards respect strict owner semantics.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v6:
- Introduce VmArea{Ref,Mut,New} distinction.
- Add a second patchset for miscdevice.
- Rebase on char-misc-next (currently on v6.12-rc2).
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v5:
- Rename VmArea::from_raw_vma to from_raw.
- Use Pin for mutable VmArea references.
- Go through `ARef::from` in `mmgrab_current`.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v4:
- Pull out ARef::into_raw into a separate patch.
- Update invariants and struct documentation.
- Rename from_raw_mm to from_raw.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Reorder entries in mm.rs.
- Use ARef for mmput_async helper.
- Clarify that VmArea requires you to hold the mmap read or write lock.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v2:
- mm.rs is redesigned from scratch making use of AsRef
- Add notes about whether destructors may sleep
- Rename Area to VmArea
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]
