Subject: [PATCH v4] rust: Return Option from page_align and ensure no usize overflow
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2025 10:54:49 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aSpEWf8ytDn_laHh@fedora> (raw)
Change `page_align()` to return `Option<usize>` to allow validation
of the provided `addr` value. This ensures that any value that is
within one `PAGE_SIZE` of `usize::MAX` will not panic, and instead
returns `None` to indicate overflow.

Changes in v2:
- Reworded commit message to follow the imperative form.
- Expanded the documentation to explain the `Some` and `None` return cases.
- Added a period at the end of the documentation comment.
- Link to v1 (and v2): https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/aSheTh-T1oroAUHR@fedora/T/#t
Changes in v3:
- Fix documentation layout for better rustdoc rendering
- Add doc examples and doctest
- Ensure function is always inlined for performance optimisation
- Restructure function so that early return is the None case and the
default is the happy path.
Changes in v4:
- Fix rustdoc missing comment (//) prefix
- Rebase on master
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/aSoY31U3uDI2y7V1@fedora/T/#u
