Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] rust: Add support for reserving of ranges of IDs
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 17:59:09 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723-chid-v2-0-c35e5e9fb3d9@nvidia.com> (raw)
Add support for reserving of ranges of IDs, with a usage in nova-core
for channel IDs. This entails adding bindings for the C bitmap
API for ranges of bits, then users of that in `IdPool`, and finally a
user of `IdPool` in nova-core, `ChannelIdPool`.
Channel ID tracking is needed for allotting ranges of channel IDs to
vGPU guests, and later for regular host channel ID reservation.
nova-core needs allocation of a contiguous sequence of IDs with a
specific length and sometimes a specific alignment [1].
About the tradeoffs between different data structures:
- IDA/xarray do not support allocating a contiguous sequence of IDs
(ida_alloc_range() allocates a single ID within a range, not a contiguous
sequence).
- A maple tree works, but is not as good a fit. The ID space is small
(limited to 2048) and aligned allocation needs an alloc_range()+erase() retry
loop (plus a Mutex around it, or new mas_empty_area() bindings) that
essentially reimplements bitmap_find_next_zero_area(). See the maple tree
version at [2]. For 2048 IDs a bitmap is also considerably faster and smaller
[3].
- The bitmap API natively supports aligned contiguous area allocation
(bitmap_find_next_zero_area()).
This is based on drm-rust-next.

Changes in v2:
- Collected Alice's Reviewed-by on patch 1.
- Address Yury's comments w.r.t. using __bitmap_set etc directly.
- Address Yury's comments w.r.t. following the C names
- Additionally check for an overflow case that causes a hang
- Added more info to cover letter + patch 4 w.r.t. channel ID allottment
requirements
- Add align parameter to ChannelIdPool::alloc_area() plus an aligned
allocation test
- Add missing INVARIANT comment when constructing UnusedArea
- Link to v1:
