Subject: [PATCH v3 2/7] rust: alloc: vmalloc: implement Vmalloc::to_page()
Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2025 20:10:16 +0200 [thread overview]

In-Reply-To: <20250808181155.223504-1-dakr@kernel.org>
Implement an abstraction of vmalloc_to_page() for subsequent use in the
PageOwner implementation of VBox and VVec.
