Subject: [PATCH WIP 0/8] Draft: Alternative allocator support
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 22:11:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240429201202.3490-1-dakr@redhat.com> (raw)

DISCLAIMER: This patch series does not raise a claim for inclusion in the kernel
(yet) and, instead, serves as a baseline for further discussion.

Hi,

This patch series re-enables the allocator_api and implements an extension trait
AllocatorWithFlags expanding the Allocator trait to allow for arbitrary
allocator implementations.

It expands Box<T, A> and Vec<T, A> by adding the BoxExtAlloc<T, A> and
VecExtAlloc<T, A> traits analogous to the existing BoxExt<T> and VecExt<T>
traits and, as an example, implements the VmAllocator (vmalloc).

This patch series is tested (I tested the VecExtAlloc<T, A> parts using my
firmware abstractions) and it seems to work quite well. However, since it's just
a draft there are no proper commit messages, no documentation and no safety
comments.

Also, I'm pretty sure there are some parts of BoxExtAlloc<T, A> and
VecExtAlloc<T, A> that, somehow, can be generalized with the existing BoxExt<T>
and VecExt<T> implementations.

Please let me know what you think.

- Danilo
