Subject: [PATCH v6 3/4] rust: sync: add SRCU abstraction
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 23:35:34 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527203615.163688-4-work@onurozkan.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527203615.163688-1-work@onurozkan.dev>

Add a Rust abstraction for sleepable RCU (SRCU), backed by C srcu_struct.
Provide FFI helpers and a safe wrapper with a guard-based API for read-side
critical sections.

Cleanup is handled via `PinnedDrop`, which explicitly drains pending grace
periods and callbacks via `synchronize_srcu` and `srcu_barrier` before
executing `cleanup_srcu_struct` to guarantee memory safety e.g. when there
are leaked guards (via `mem::forget($guard)`).
