[PATCH v5 2/5] rust: bitmap: restrict bitmap length to at most i32::MAX
From: Eliot Courtney
Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 04:53:23 EST
It is currently possible to construct a non-`BitmapVec` backed
`Bitmap` using `Bitmap::from_raw` that is larger than `i32::MAX`, and
it is not part of the unsafe requirements. Restricting all bitmaps
(even non-`BitmapVec` backed ones) to a maximum size of `i32::MAX`
simplifies a few things and matches `BitmapVec::MAX_LEN`.
Add that requirement to the unsafe requirements on `Bitmap::from_raw`
and `Bitmap::from_raw_mut`, and to the invariants on `Bitmap`.
This also fixes u32 casts truncating in `copy_and_extend`, which could
otherwise lead to OOB writes.
Fixes: 11eca92a2cae ("rust: add bitmap API.")
