[PATCH v3] rust: add bindings and API for bitmap.h and bitops.h.

From: Burak Emir
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 12:21:16 EST


Adds a Rust bitmap API and necessary bitmap and bitops bindings.
These are for porting the approach from commit 15d9da3f818c ("binder:
use bitmap for faster descriptor lookup") to Rust. The functionality
in dbitmap.h makes use of bitmap and bitops.

The Rust bitmap API provides an abstraction to underlying bitmap
and bitops operations. For now, we only include methods that are
necessary for reimplementing dbitmap.h. It is straightforward to add
more methods later, as needed. We offer a safe API through
bounds checks which panic if violated.

We introduce bindings for the non-atomic variants __set_bit and
__clear_bit, and use the _find_* variants instead of the find_*
wrappers which enable small size optimization in C. These C
small size optimizations do not carry over to Rust. The
principle followed is that whenever there are plain variants, we use
those.

This series uses the usize type for sizes and indices into the bitmap,
because Rust generally always uses that type for indices and lengths
and it will be more convenient if the API accepts that type. This means
that we need to perform some casts to/from u32 and usize, since the C
headers use unsigned int instead of size_t/unsigned long for these
numbers in some places.

This is v3 of a patch introducing Rust bitmap API [v2]. Thanks
for all the helpful comments!

Changes v2 --> v3:
- change `bitmap_copy` to `copy_from_bitmap_and_extend` which
zeroes out extra bits. This enables dbitmap shrink and grow use
cases while offering a consistent and understandable Rust API for
other uses (Alice)

Changes v1 --> v2:
- Rebased on Yury's v2 patch [1] and Viresh's v2 patch [2]
- Removed import of `bindings::*`, keeping only prefix (Miguel)
- Renamed panic methods to make more explicit (Miguel)
- use markdown in doc comments and added example/kunit test (Miguel)
- Added maintainer section for BITOPS API BINDINGS [RUST] (Yury)
- Added M: entry for bitmap.rs which goes to Alice (Viresh, Alice)
- Changed calls from find_* to _find_*, removed helpers (Yury)
- Use non-atomic __set_bit and __clear_bit from Bitmap Rust API (Yury)
