[PATCH v6 06/26] rust: alloc: implement `Vmalloc` allocator
Posted by Danilo Krummrich 1 month ago
Implement `Allocator` for `Vmalloc`, the kernel's virtually contiguous
allocator, typically used for larger objects, (much) larger than page
size.

All memory allocations made with `Vmalloc` end up in `vrealloc()`.

The same safety comment as with `Kmalloc` should fit here (and with
`KVmalloc` too).
