Subject: [PATCH v5 04/12] rust: xarray: add `XArrayState`
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 15:26:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-xarray-entry-send-v5-4-d18adae40708@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-xarray-entry-send-v5-0-d18adae40708@kernel.org>
Add `XArrayState` as internal state for XArray iteration and entry
operations. This struct wraps the C `xa_state` structure and holds a
reference to a `Guard` to ensure exclusive access to the XArray for the
lifetime of the state object. `XArrayState` is generic over the guard
borrow through a `Deref` bound, so it can hold either a shared or a
mutable reference to the guard.
Use the new state in `Guard::load` by replacing the call to `xa_load`
with `xas_load`. The `xa_load` function takes the RCU lock internally,
which we do not need, since the `Guard` already holds an exclusive lock
on the `XArray`. The `xas_load` function operates on `xa_state` and
assumes the required locks are already held.
Unlike `xa_load`, `xas_load` does not filter out internal entries.
Arrays created with `AllocKind::Alloc1` store `XA_ZERO_ENTRY` at index
0 when they are expanded from empty, so convert zero entries to `NULL`
like the C normal API does, exposing the `xa_zero_to_null` helper for
this purpose.
The `XAS_RESTART` constant is also exposed through the bindings helper
to properly initialize the `xa_node` field.
The `guard` field of `XArrayState` is not read until a later patch
adds `into_guard`, so it is annotated with `#[expect(dead_code)]`
until then.
