[PATCH] rust: page: Simplify overflow check using checked_add()
Posted by Kari Argillander 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Replace the explicit bounds comparisons with a single checked_add()-based
range check. This avoids redundant comparisons, makes the overflow case
explicit, and results in simpler generated code (checked with godbolt
for x86).

Option::is_none_or() would be nicer, but it requires Rust 1.82; the
kernel currently targets 1.78.

No functional change intended.

Thanks, this switches to the early return style we recently discussed
in [1].

I just wonder if we would like to add a comment like

// TODO: replace `map_or` with `is_none_or` once the MSRV is >= 1.82.

like we do in e.g. transmute.rs [2]?

Anyway

Sure, I can do that. I’ll send a respin maybe next Tuesday.

I find this line a bit heavy with the two-steps check, how about
something like:

    if !matches!(off.checked_add(len), Some(e) if e <= PAGE_SIZE) {

Just for your consideration - the original is still valid and an
improvement over the original code, so regardless:
