Subject: [PATCH 06/13] rust: sync: atomic: Clarify the need of CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW
Date: Tue,  3 Mar 2026 12:16:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303201701.12204-7-boqun@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303201701.12204-1-boqun@kernel.org>

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

Currently, since all the architectures that support Rust all have
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW selected, the helpers of atomic
load/store on i8 and i16 relies on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW=y.
It's generally fine since most of architectures support that.

The plan for CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW=n architectures is adding
their (probably lock-based) atomic load/store for i8 and i16 as their
atomic_{read,set}() and atomic64_{read,set}() counterpart when they
plans to support Rust.

Hence use a statis_assert!() to check this and remind the future us the
need of the helpers. This is more clear than the #[cfg] on impl blocks
of i8 and i16.
