[PATCH v2] rust: mm: add abstractions for mm_struct and vm_area_struct

From: Alice Ryhl
Date: Sat Jul 27 2024 - 05:03:18 EST


This is a follow-up to the page abstractions [1] that were recently
merged in 6.11. Rust Binder will need these abstractions to manipulate
the vma in its implementation of the mmap fop on the Binder file.

This patch is based on Wedson's implementation on the old rust branch,
but has been changed significantly. All mistakes are Alice's.

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/20240723-vma-v1-1-32ad5a0118ee@xxxxxxxxxx
