[PATCH 1/2] rust: pin-init: alloc: restrict `impl ZeroableOption` for `Box` to `T: Sized`
From: Benno Lossin
Date: Mon Apr 07 2025 - 16:21:24 EST
From: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx>
Similar to what was done for `Zeroable<NonNull<T>>` in commit
df27cef15360 ("rust: init: fix `Zeroable` implementation for
`Option<NonNull<T>>` and `Option<KBox<T>>`"), the latest Rust
documentation [1] says it guarantees that `transmute::<_,
Option<T>>([0u8; size_of::<T>()])` is sound and produces
`Option::<T>::None` only in some cases. In particular, it says:
`Box<U>` (specifically, only `Box<U, Global>`) when `U: Sized`
Thus restrict the `impl` to `Sized`, and use similar wording as in that
commit too.
