Subject: [PATCH v6 4/9] rust: sync: atomic: Add generic atomics
Date: Wed,  9 Jul 2025 23:00:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250710060052.11955-5-boqun.feng@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250710060052.11955-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com>

To provide using LKMM atomics for Rust code, a generic `Atomic<T>` is
added, currently `T` needs to be Send + Copy because these are the
straightforward usages and all basic types support this.

Implement `AllowAtomic` for `i32` and `i64`, and so far only basic
operations load() and store() are introduced.

+
+/// A generic atomic variable.
+///
+/// `T` must impl [`AllowAtomic`], that is, an [`AtomicImpl`] has to be chosen.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// A customized type stored in [`Atomic`]:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// use kernel::sync::atomic::{generic::AllowAtomic, Atomic, Relaxed};
+///
+/// #[derive(Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
+/// #[repr(i32)]
+/// enum State {
+///     Uninit = 0,
+///     Working = 1,
+///     Done = 2,
+/// };

+/// // SAFETY: `State` and `i32` has the same size and alignment, and it's round-trip
+/// // transmutable to `i32`.
+/// unsafe impl AllowAtomic for State {
+///     type Repr = i32;
+/// }
+///
+/// let s = Atomic::new(State::Uninit);
+///
+/// assert_eq!(State::Uninit, s.load(Relaxed));
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Guarantees
+///
+/// Doing an atomic operation while holding a reference of [`Self`] won't cause a data race,
+/// this is guaranteed by the safety requirement of [`Self::from_ptr()`] and the extra safety
+/// requirement of the usage on pointers returned by [`Self::as_ptr()`].
+#[repr(transparent)]
+pub struct Atomic<T: AllowAtomic>(UnsafeCell<T>);
+
+// SAFETY: `Atomic<T>` is safe to share among execution contexts because all accesses are atomic.
+unsafe impl<T: AllowAtomic> Sync for Atomic<T> {}
+
+/// Types that support basic atomic operations.
+///
+/// # Round-trip transmutability
+///
+/// Implementing [`AllowAtomic`] requires that the type is round-trip transmutable to its
+/// representation:
+///
+/// - Any value of [`Self`] must be sound to [`transmute()`] to a [`Self::Repr`], and this also
+///   means that a pointer to [`Self`] can be treated as a pointer to [`Self::Repr`] for reading.
+/// - If a value of [`Self::Repr`] is a result a [`transmute()`] from a [`Self`], it must be
+///   sound to [`transmute()`] the value back to a [`Self`].
+///
+/// This essentially means a valid bit pattern of `T: AllowAtomic` has to be a valid bit pattern
+/// of `T::Repr`. This is needed because [`Atomic<T: AllowAtomic>`] operates on `T::Repr` to
+/// implement atomic operations on `T`.
+///
+/// Note that this is more relaxed than bidirectional transmutability (i.e. [`transmute()`] is
+/// always sound between `T` and `T::Repr`) because of the support for atomic variables over
+/// unit-only enums:
+///
+/// ```
+/// #[repr(i32)]
+/// enum State { Init = 0, Working = 1, Done = 2, }
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Safety
+///
+/// - [`Self`] must have the same size and alignment as [`Self::Repr`].
+/// - [`Self`] and [`Self::Repr`] must have the [round-trip transmutability].
+///
+/// # Limitations
+///
+/// Because C primitives are used to implement the atomic operations, and a C function requires a
+/// valid object of a type to operate on (i.e. no `MaybeUninit<_>`), hence at the Rust <-> C
+/// surface, only types with no uninitialized bits can be passed. As a result, types like `(u8,
+/// u16)` (a tuple with a `MaybeUninit` hole in it) are currently not supported. Note that
+/// technically these types can be supported if some APIs are removed for them and the inner
+/// implementation is tweaked, but the justification of support such a type is not strong enough at
+/// the moment. This should be resolved if there is an implementation for `MaybeUninit<i32>` as
+/// `AtomicImpl`.
