[PATCH v2 2/5] gpu: nova-core: add FbRange.len() and use it in boot.rs
Posted by John Hubbard 5 days, 21 hours ago
A tiny simplification: now that FbLayout uses its own specific FbRange
type, add an FbRange.len() method, and use that to (very slightly)
simplify the calculation of Frts::frts_size initialization.

I'm not sure this is necessary - for one, we could just use the .len() method
on the Range. As well - if we just implement Deref for FbRange (which I think
would be fine here) we could just use .len() through that.

Hi Lyude!

Good idea about the deref coercion. It has a minor type mismatch as-is,
though: Range<u64>::len() returns usize, but FbRange::len() returns u64,
which matches the callers that we have so far.

Thoughts?


thanks,

It's even worse than that, `Range<u64>::len()` simply doesn't exist. :)

`len()` is implemented through `ExactSizeIterator`, which specifies the
return type as `usize`. This obviously cannot provide a reliable result
when the range is u64, so the implementation was simply not done. See
[1] for evidence.

But having our own range type lets us slip our own `fn len(&self) ->
u64` implementation.
