Subject: [PATCH v12 22/22] rust: maple_tree: implement Send and Sync for MapleTree
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 17:14:54 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260425211454.174696-23-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260425211454.174696-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
The C maple_tree struct contains a *mut c_void, which prevents Rust from
auto-deriving Send/Sync. Following is an example error message when using
MapleTree in nova-core's Vmm.
This propagates up through MapleTreeAlloc to Vmm, BarUser, Gpu, and NovaCore,
causing NovaCore to fail the Send bound required by pci::Driver:
error[E0277]: `*mut c_void` cannot be sent between threads safely
--> drivers/gpu/nova-core/driver.rs:77:22
|
77 | impl pci::Driver for NovaCore {
| ^^^^^^^^ `*mut c_void` cannot be sent between threads safely
|
= help: within `MapleTreeAlloc<()>`, the trait `Send` is not implemented for `*mut c_void`
note: required because it appears within the type `kernel::bindings::maple_tree`
note: required because it appears within the type `Opaque<kernel::bindings::maple_tree>`
note: required because it appears within the type `MapleTree<()>`
note: required because it appears within the type `MapleTreeAlloc<()>`
= note: required for `Box<MapleTreeAlloc<()>, Kmalloc>` to implement `Send`
note: required because it appears within the type `core::pin::Pin<Box<MapleTreeAlloc<()>, Kmalloc>>`
note: required because it appears within the type `Vmm`
note: required because it appears within the type `BarUser`
note: required because it appears within the type `Gpu`
note: required because it appears within the type `NovaCore`
note: required by a bound in `kernel::pci::Driver`
--> rust/kernel/pci.rs:294:19
Implement Send and Sync for MapleTree. The tree contains no thread-local
state, and all shared access goes through the internal ma_lock spinlock.
