mm: rust: add abstraction for struct mm_struct
Patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap", v16. This updates the vm_area_struct support to use the approach we discussed at LPC where there are several different Rust wrappers for vm_area_struct depending on the kind of access you have to the vma. Each case allows a different set of operations on the vma. This includes an MM MAINTAINERS entry as proposed by Lorenzo: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ This patch (of 9): These abstractions allow you to reference a `struct mm_struct` using both mmgrab and mmget refcounts. This is done using two Rust types: * Mm - represents an mm_struct where you don't know anything about the value of mm_users. * MmWithUser - represents an mm_struct where you know at compile time that mm_users is non-zero. This allows us to encode in the type system whether a method requires that mm_users is non-zero or not. For instance, you can always call `mmget_not_zero` but you can only call `mmap_read_lock` when mm_users is non-zero. The struct is called Mm to keep consistency with the C side. The ability to obtain `current->mm` is added later in this series. The mm module is defined to only exist when CONFIG_MMU is set. This avoids various errors due to missing types and functions when CONFIG_MMU is disabled. More fine-grained cfgs can be considered in the future. See the thread at [1] for more info.
