Subject: [PATCH v15 8/9] rust: implement `ForeignOwnable` for `Owned`
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 10:51:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220-unique-ref-v15-8-893ed86b06cc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220-unique-ref-v15-0-893ed86b06cc@kernel.org>
Implement `ForeignOwnable` for `Owned<T>`. This allows use of `Owned<T>` in
places such as the `XArray`.
Note that `T` does not need to implement `ForeignOwnable` for `Owned<T>` to
implement `ForeignOwnable`.
