Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] rust: iov: add iov_iter abstractions for ITER_DEST
Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2025 09:26:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250704-iov-iter-v2-2-e69aa7c1f40e@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250704-iov-iter-v2-0-e69aa7c1f40e@google.com>

This adds abstractions for the iov_iter type in the case where
data_source is ITER_DEST. This will make Rust implementations of
fops->read_iter possible.

This series only has support for using existing IO vectors created by C
code. Additional abstractions will be needed to support the creation of
IO vectors in Rust code.

These abstractions make the assumption that `struct iov_iter` does not
have internal self-references, which implies that it is valid to move it
between different local variables.
