This series adds a Rust bitmap API for porting the approach from
commit 15d9da3f818c ("binder: use bitmap for faster descriptor lookup")
to Rust. The functionality in dbitmap.h makes use of bitmap and bitops.
The Rust bitmap API provides a safe abstraction to underlying bitmap
and bitops operations. For now, only includes method necessary for
dbitmap.h, more can be added later. We perform bounds checks for
hardening, violations are programmer errors that result in panics.
We include set_bit_atomic and clear_bit_atomic operations. One has
to avoid races with non-atomic operations, which is ensure by the
Rust type system: either callers have shared references &bitmap in
which case the mutations are atomic operations. Or there is a
exclusive reference &mut bitmap, in which case there is no concurrent
access.
This version includes an optimization to represent the bitmap inline,
as suggested by Yury.
We ran a simple benchmark (sample size 32), with RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED=n
on a x86_64 production machine that was not running other processes.
Results for random-filled bitmap:

We introduce a Rust API that would replace (dbitmap.h) in file
id_pool.rs. This data structure is tightly coupled to the bitmap API.
Includes an example of usage that requires releasing a spinlock, as
expected in Binder driver.
This is v9 of a patch introducing Rust bitmap API [v7]. Thanks
for all the helpful comments, this series has improved significantly
as a result of your work.
Changes v8 --> v9:
- added a new type `CBitmap` that makes any C bitmap accessible with
the same API, and add Deref so both Bitmap and
CBitmap can share the same implementation. Full credit for this
goes to Alice who suggested idea and code.
- added config dependency on CONFIG_RUST that was missing from
CONIG_FIND_BIT_BENCHMARK_RUST.
- implemented Send for Bitmap, it is actually needed by Binder.
- reworded commit msg for clarity.
- removed unsafe for atomic ops.
- renamed `bitmap_hardening_assert` to `bitmap_assert` and make operations
do nothing and log error when RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED is off.
- update author information in find_bit_benchmark_rust.rs
- Various improvements to id_pool, better names and comments.
Changes v7 --> v8:
- added Acked-by for bindings patches
- add RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED config, making the extra bound-checks configurable.
This is added to security/Kconfig.hardening
- changed checks of `index` return value to >=
- removed change to FIND_BIT_BENCHMARK
Changes v6 --> v7:
- Added separate unit tests in bitmap.rs and benchmark module,
following the example in find_bit_benchmark.c
- Added discussion about using vendored bitset to commit message.
- Refined warning about naming convention
Changes v5 --> v6:
- Added SAFETY comment for atomic operations.
- Added missing volatile to bitops set_bit and clear_bit bindings.
- Fixed condition on `nbits` to be <= i32::MAX, update SAFETY comments.
- Readability improvements.
- Updated doc comments wording and indentation.
Changes v4 --> v5: (suggested by Yury and Alice)
- rebased on next-20250318
- split MAINTAINERS changes
- no dependencies on [1] and [2] anymore - Viresh,
please do add a separate section if you want to maintain cpumask.rs
separately.
- imports atomic and non-atomic variants, introduces a naming convention
set_bit and set_bit_atomic on the Rust side.
- changed naming and comments. Keeping `new`.
- change dynamic_id_pool to id_pool
- represent bitmap inline when possible
- add some more tests
- add myself to M: line for the Rust abstractions
Changes v3 --> v4:
- Rebased on Viresh's v3 [2].
- split into multiple patches, separate Rust and bindings. (Yury)
- adds dynamic_id_pool.rs to show the Binder use case. (Yury)
- include example usage that requires release of spinlock (Alice)
- changed bounds checks to `assert!`, shorter (Yury)
- fix param names in binding helpers. (Miguel)
- proper rustdoc formatting, and use examples as kunit tests. (Miguel)
- reduce number of Bitmap methods, and simplify API through
use Option<usize> to handle the "not found" case.
- make Bitmap pointer accessors private, so Rust Bitmap API
provides an actual abstraction boundary (Tamir)
- we still return `AllocError` in `Bitmap::new` in case client code
asks for a size that is too large. Intentionally
different from other bounds checks because it is not about
access but allocation, and we expect that client code need
never handle AllocError and nbits > u32::MAX situations
differently.
Changes v2 --> v3:
- change `bitmap_copy` to `copy_from_bitmap_and_extend` which
zeroes out extra bits. This enables dbitmap shrink and grow use
cases while offering a consistent and understandable Rust API for
other uses (Alice)
Changes v1 --> v2:
- Rebased on Yury's v2 [1] and Viresh's v3 [2] changes related to
bitmap.
- Removed import of `bindings::*`, keeping only prefix (Miguel)
- Renamed panic methods to make more explicit (Miguel)
- use markdown in doc comments and added example/kunit test (Miguel)
- Added maintainer section for BITOPS API BINDINGS [RUST] (Yury)
- Added M: entry for bitmap.rs which goes to Alice (Viresh, Alice)
- Changed calls from find_* to _find_*, removed helpers (Yury)
- Use non-atomic __set_bit and __clear_bit from Bitmap Rust API (Yury)

Provides an abstraction for C bitmap API and bitops operations.
This commit enables a Rust implementation of an Android Binder
data structure from commit 15d9da3f818c ("binder: use bitmap for faster
descriptor lookup"), which can be found in drivers/android/dbitmap.h.
It is a step towards upstreaming the Rust port of Android Binder driver.
We follow the C Bitmap API closely in naming and semantics, with
a few differences that take advantage of Rust language facilities
and idioms:
* We leverage Rust type system guarantees as follows:
* all (non-atomic) mutating operations require a &mut reference which
amounts to exclusive access.
* the Bitmap type implements Send. This enables transferring
ownership between threads and is needed for Binder.
* the Bitmap type implements Sync, which enables passing shared
references &Bitmap between threads. Atomic operations can be
used to safely modify from multiple threads (interior
mutability), though without ordering guarantees.
* The Rust API uses `{set,clear}_bit` vs `{set,clear}_bit_atomic` as
names, which differs from the C naming convention which uses
set_bit for atomic vs __set_bit for non-atomic.
* we include enough operations for the API to be useful, but not all
operations are exposed yet in order to avoid dead code. The missing
ones can be added later.
* We follow the C API closely with a fine-grained approach to safety:
* Low-level bit-ops get a safe API with bounds checks. Calling with
an out-of-bounds arguments to {set,clear}_bit becomes a no-op and
get logged as errors.
* We introduce a RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED config, which
causes invocations with out-of-bounds arguments to panic.
* methods correspond to find_* C methods tolerate out-of-bounds
since the C implementation does. Also here, we log out-of-bounds
arguments as errors and panic in RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED mode.
* We add a way to "borrow" bitmaps from C in Rust, to make C bitmaps
that were allocated in C directly usable in Rust code (`CBitmap`).
* the Rust API is optimized to represent the bitmap inline if it would
fit into a pointer. This saves allocations which is
relevant in the Binder use case.
The underlying C bitmap is *not* exposed, and must never be exposed
(except in tests). Exposing the representation of the owned bitmap would
lose static guarantees.
An alternative route of vendoring an existing Rust bitmap package was
considered but suboptimal overall. Reusing the C implementation is
preferable for a basic data structure like bitmaps. It enables Rust
code to be a lot more similar and predictable with respect to C code
that uses the same data structures and enables the use of code that
has been tried-and-tested in the kernel, with the same performance
characteristics whenever possible.
We use the `usize` type for sizes and indices into the bitmap,
because Rust generally always uses that type for indices and lengths
and it will be more convenient if the API accepts that type. This means
that we need to perform some casts to/from u32 and usize, since the C
headers use unsigned int instead of size_t/unsigned long for these
numbers in some places.
Adds new MAINTAINERS section BITMAP API [RUST].

Microbenchmark protected by a config FIND_BIT_BENCHMARK_RUST,
following `find_bit_benchmark.c` but testing the Rust Bitmap API.
We add a fill_random() method protected by the config in order to
maintain the abstraction.

This is a port of the Binder data structure introduced in commit
15d9da3f818c ("binder: use bitmap for faster descriptor lookup") to
Rust.
Like drivers/android/dbitmap.h, the ID pool abstraction lets
clients acquire and release IDs. The implementation uses a bitmap to
know what IDs are in use, and gives clients fine-grained control over
the time of allocation. This fine-grained control is needed in the
Android Binder. We provide an example that release a spinlock for
allocation and unit tests (rustdoc examples).
The implementation does not permit shrinking below capacity below
BITS_PER_LONG.

+//! Rust API for an ID pool backed by a [`Bitmap`].
+
+use crate::alloc::{AllocError, Flags};
+use crate::bitmap::Bitmap;
+
+/// Represents a dynamic ID pool backed by a [`Bitmap`].
+///
+/// Clients acquire and release IDs from unset bits in a bitmap.
+///
+/// The capacity of the ID pool may be adjusted by users as
+/// needed. The API supports the scenario where users need precise control
+/// over the time of allocation of a new backing bitmap, which may require
+/// release of spinlock.
+/// Due to concurrent updates, all operations are re-verified to determine
+/// if the grow or shrink is sill valid.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// Basic usage
+///
+/// ```
+/// use kernel::alloc::{AllocError, flags::GFP_KERNEL};
+/// use kernel::id_pool::IdPool;
+///
+/// let mut pool = IdPool::new(64, GFP_KERNEL)?;
+/// for i in 0..64 {
+/// assert_eq!(i, pool.acquire_next_id(i).ok_or(ENOSPC)?);
+/// }
+///
+/// pool.release_id(23);
+/// assert_eq!(23, pool.acquire_next_id(0).ok_or(ENOSPC)?);
+///
+/// assert_eq!(None, pool.acquire_next_id(0)); // time to realloc.
+/// let resizer = pool.grow_request().ok_or(ENOSPC)?.realloc(GFP_KERNEL)?;
+/// pool.grow(resizer);
+///
+/// assert_eq!(pool.acquire_next_id(0), Some(64));
+/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
+/// ```
+///
+/// Releasing spinlock to grow the pool
+///

So, 95% CI means z=1.96, isn't? And to me it should be, for example for
the first line: 5.18 +- 1.96*0.32/sqrt(32) = 5.18 +- 0.11 = [5.07, 5.29].
Can you check your math please?

Your numbers look pretty weird. I wrote the test such that on a typical
x86 system it takes milliseconds for each subtest to pass. Here you
report nanoseconds-scaled times. Did you divide by the number of
iterations? If so, please mention it.
Please print raw output of your test in patch #4 which adds the test.
Because the test is tightly coupled to it's C version, we need to make
sure it hast the same format - fields alignment, etc.
I would prefer to have detailed performance discussion in the
corresponding patch (#4), and here in cover letter you'd just mention
the overall performance difference - 2%, as I can see.

So to me it sounds like if I want to resize, I just allocate a new bitmap,
take this exclusive reference, copy IDs, swap the pointers in
corresponding class, and that's it. What did I miss?

This is the same as #[repr(align(8)] on 64bit architecture? If so, maybe
we should do:
#[cfg_attr(CONFIG_64BIT, repr(align(8)))]
#[cfg_attr(not(CONFIG_64BIT), repr(align(4)))]
pub struct CBitmap {
data: [()],
}
? I find it slightly better because it's explicit on the targeted
alignment.

I think this comment is out-of-date. What makes `Bitmap` is that all
methods will immutable references are either atomic or read-only (more
accurately, `Bitmap`'s deref() will return a reference to a `CBitmap`
which is `Sync`).

Why "unsigned int" instead of "unsigned long"? The C API uses
"unsigned long" and in the Rust API, you uses "usize" for `nbits` and
`index`s, therefore using "unsigned int" only introduces unnecessary "as
u32" casting IMO, am I missing something here?

Interestingly, this zero sized slice layout seems to be fine under Tree
Borrows but UB under Stacked Borrows. This slightly modified version[0]
that runs in userspace triggers Miri with Stacked Borrows.
Though I guess it's fine since Miri doesn't complain with Tree Borrows.

Safety comment is missing here. Running Clippy with `make LLVM=1 CLIPPY=1`
finds all the missing safety comments and some other issues as well.

Maybe use `.cast_mut()` instead of `as *mut usize`?

Same here. `cast_mut` won't silently change the type unlike `as` casts so

Would this cause a data race if `src` is concurrently (atomically)
modified? The C function seems to use a plain `memcpy` which is not atomic.

We need some better documentation on the effect of kernel C's
`memcpy()`-like functions regarding data races, but in general a kernel
C's `memcpy` can be treated as a volatile one (or per-byte atomic), so
it won't cause data race.

Facepalm... I used scipy to get the CI, and passed alpha (5%) instead
of 1-alpha (95%) for confidence level.

Yes, I had divided by number of iterations.
Now that you are questioning this, I have second thoughts.
I will repeat the benchmark, without dividing by iterations.

Will do. In v10, I have removed the module name from the output and

The two emails are about two related but different things:
1. the bitmap API which uses kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL, and what you
suggest could be done with &mut references
2. the id_pool and its fine-grained API that permits controlling the
time of allocation, which is used in binder which relies on a
spinlock.
My limited understanding is that calling kmalloc w/ GFP_KERNEL while
holding a spinlock is not good, since the kmalloc may sleep.
You can see this "first unlock, then alloc, then lock again" pattern
in binder code here:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/15d9da3f818cae676f822a04407d3c17b53357d2/drivers/android/binder.c#L1099

This is certainly a bit confusing to me.
As Jann points out here [1] the expand to asm macros arch___set_bit,
where `nr` is indeed unsigned long.
There is also the constraint that a bitmap's length must be shorter
than INT32_MAX bits, but that does not matter.
Being consistent with the C API, including parameter names, is what we
should do, so fixing this.
I found the underlying C API is just hard to find for these macros.
Thanks for catching.
cheers
