Subject: [PATCH v4 5/9] rust: percpu: introduce a rust API for dynamic per-CPU variables
Date: Wed, 05 Nov 2025 15:01:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251105-rust-percpu-v4-5-984b1470adcb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251105-rust-percpu-v4-0-984b1470adcb@gmail.com>

Dynamically allocated per-CPU variables are core to many of the
use-cases of per-CPU variables (e.g., ref counting). Add support for
them using the core `PerCpuPtr<T>` primitive, implementing the
`PerCpu<T>` trait.
