Subject: [PATCH v15 7/9] rust: page: convert to `Ownable`
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 10:51:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220-unique-ref-v15-7-893ed86b06cc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220-unique-ref-v15-0-893ed86b06cc@kernel.org>
From: Asahi Lina <lina+kernel@asahilina.net>
This allows Page references to be returned as borrowed references,
without necessarily owning the struct page.
Signed-off-by: Asahi Lina <lina@asahilina.net>
[ Andreas: Fix formatting and add a safety comment. ]
