From: Andreas Hindborg <[email protected]>
Add abstractions for the C radix_tree. This abstraction allows Rust code to use
the radix_tree as a map from `u64` keys to `ForeignOwnable` values.

Design question: why is the tree boxed? Shouldn't the user decide how
they want to manage the memory of the tree? In other words, should
`tree` just be `Opaque<bindings::xarray>` and this type initialized via
`pin-init`?

There probably is a reason why this uses `GFP_ATOMIC`, but I think if we
decide that the tree allocates memory there should be also a function
with `GFP_KERNEL`. That function should be called `new()` and this one
`new_atomic()` or `new_gfp(gfp: gfp_t)`. Also note that I think the
return type should be `Result<Self, AllocError>`, we should be explicit
where we can be.

Also add that the invariant of only inserting `ForignOwnable` pointers
is upheld.

Instead of `as _` prefer to use `.cast::<$type>()` or in this case probably `.cast_mut()`.

You use `NonNull` quiet a bit, consider importing it.

Why is `Target = ScopeGuard`? I think it makes more sense to use

Please, no. The XArray interface is the preferred one; the radix tree
is legacy. Don't make Rust code use the radix tree. It has the GFP
arguments in the wrong place, for one thing.

I have a similar argument to not using xarrray as to not using folios,
see my other response. But the Rust xarray API is in the works [1].

But the radix tree API is simply a different (and worse) API to the
exact same data structure as the XArray. Using the XArray instead of
the radix tree is still an apples-to-apples comparison.

And if he wants to do a 1:1 comparism, just convert null_blk to
xarray, which would actually be more useful work than this whole
thread..

please don't submit patches in this area as I'm already working that waiting
for few things to go upstream first, got busy with testing and bug fixing
memleaks for next pull request ..
