[Yury Norov]

The bindings and a new maintenance entry together with the API changes
policy.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250221205649.141305-1-yury.norov@gmail.com/T/
v2:
 - export alloc_cpumask_var() @ Viresh;
 - clarify that the maintenance rules apply to all bitmap interfaces,
   including those not mentioned explicitly in the helpers @ Miguel.

[PATCH 1/2] rust: Add cpumask helpers

[Yury Norov]

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

In order to prepare for adding Rust abstractions for cpumask, add
the required helpers for inline cpumask functions that cannot be
called by rust code directly.

I don’t understand what is going on here. You apparently did not provide the
Rust code itself.

Usually, when I see a “in order to prepare for …” I expect the actual patch to
follow in the same series.

Right now - and correct me if I'm wrong - it seems like you’ve essentially added
dead code.

Yes, it's a dead code. 

Cpumasks is a library, and people sometimes submit library code separately
from their main projects, so it becomes unused for a while. GENMASK_U128()
is one recent example.

I'm not happy about it, but I understand why people do so - it's important
for them to have stable API, and their big project may take longer to get
upstreamed.

So, if nobody's strongly opposite, I will move it myself. Alternatively,
we can ask Viresh to take over the patches and move them together with
his series.

Thanks,
Yury

[PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: add rust bindings entry for bitmap API

[Yury Norov]

From: "Yury Norov [NVIDIA]" <yury.norov@gmail.com>

This entry enumerates bitmap and related APIs listed in BITMAP API entry
that rust requires but cannot use directly (i.e. inlined functions and
macros).

The "Rust kernel policy" (https://rust-for-linux.com/rust-kernel-policy)
document describes the special status of rust support:

  "Exceptionally, for Rust, a subsystem may allow to temporarily
   break Rust code."

Accordingly, the following policy applies to all interfaces under the
BITMAP API entry that are used in rust codebase, including those not
listed explicitly here.

Bitmap developers do their best to keep the API stable. When API or
user-visible behavior needs to be changed such that it breaks rust,
bitmap and rust developers collaborate as follows:
 - bitmap developers don't consider rust bindings as a blocker for the
   API change;
 - bindings maintainer (me) makes sure that kernel build doesn't break
   with CONFIG_RUST=y. This implies fixes in the binding layer, but not
   in rust codebase;
 - rust developers adopt new version of API in their codebase and remove
   unused bindings timely.

OK, adding in bitmap-for-next for testing.
