Subject: [PATCH v9 05/10] rust: io: add IoLoc type and generic I/O accessors
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 10:06:15 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260314-register-v9-5-86805b2f7e9d@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260314-register-v9-0-86805b2f7e9d@nvidia.com>
I/O accesses are defined by the following properties:
- An I/O location, which consists of a start address, a width, and a
type to interpret the read value as,
- A value, which is returned for reads or provided for writes.
Introduce the `IoLoc` trait, which allows implementing types to fully
specify an I/O location.
This allows I/O operations to be made generic through the new `read` and
`write` methods.
This design will allow us to factorize the I/O code working with
primitives, and to introduce ways to perform I/O with a higher degree of
control through register types.
