[PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: add rust bindings entry for bitmap API
From: Yury Norov
Date: Fri Feb 21 2025 - 15:59:52 EST
From: Yury Norov [NVIDIA] <yury.norov@xxxxxxxxx>
This entry enumerates all bitmap and related APIs that rust requires
but cannot use directly (i.e. inlined functions and macros).
The "Rust kernel policy" (https://rust-for-linux.com/rust-kernel-policy)
document describes the special status of rust support:
"Exceptionally, for Rust, a subsystem may allow to temporarily
break Rust code."
Bitmap developers do their best to keep the API stable. When API or
user-visible behavior needs to be changed such that it breaks rust,
bitmap and rust developers collaborate as follows:
- bitmap developers don't consider rust bindings as a blocker for the
API change;
- bindings maintainer (me) makes sure that kernel build doesn't break
with CONFIG_RUST=y. This implies fixes in the binding layer, but not
in the rust codebase;
- rust developers adopt new version of API in their codebase and remove
unused bindings timely.
