255 /// A [`Result`] with an [`Error`] error type.
256 ///
257 /// To be used as the return type for functions that may fail.
258 ///
259 /// # Error codes in C and Rust
260 ///
261 /// In C, it is common that functions indicate success or failure through
262 /// their return value; modifying or returning extra data through non-`const`
263 /// pointer parameters. In particular, in the kernel, functions that may fail
264 /// typically return an `int` that represents a generic error code. We model
265 /// those as [`Error`].
266 ///
267 /// In Rust, it is idiomatic to model functions that may fail as returning
268 /// a [`Result`]. Since in the kernel many functions return an error code,
269 /// [`Result`] is a type alias for a [`core::result::Result`] that uses
270 /// [`Error`] as its error type.
271 ///
272 /// Note that even if a function does not return anything when it succeeds,
273 /// it should still be modeled as returning a [`Result`] rather than
274 /// just an [`Error`].
275 ///
276 /// Calling a function that returns [`Result`] forces the caller to handle
277 /// the returned [`Result`].
278 ///
279 /// This can be done "manually" by using [`match`]. Using [`match`] to decode
280 /// the [`Result`] is similar to C where all the return value decoding and the
281 /// error handling is done explicitly by writing handling code for each
282 /// error to cover. Using [`match`] the error and success handling can be
283 /// implemented in all detail as required. For example (inspired by
284 /// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]):
285 ///
286 /// ```
287 /// # #[allow(clippy::single_match)]
288 /// fn example() -> Result {
289 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
290 ///
291 ///     match numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
292 ///         Err(e) => {
293 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
294 ///             return Err(e.into());
295 ///         }
296 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
297 ///         Ok(()) => (),
298 ///     }
299 ///
300 ///     match numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
301 ///         Err(e) => {
302 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
303 ///             return Err(e.into());
304 ///         }
305 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
306 ///         Ok(()) => (),
307 ///     }
308 ///
309 ///     match numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
310 ///         Err(e) => {
311 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
312 ///             return Err(e.into());
313 ///         }

319 /// }
320 /// # example()?;
321 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
322 /// ```
323 ///
324 /// An alternative to be more concise is the [`if let`] syntax:
325 ///
326 /// ```
327 /// fn example() -> Result {
328 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
329 ///
330 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
331 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
332 ///         return Err(e.into());
333 ///     }
334 ///
335 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
336 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
337 ///         return Err(e.into());
338 ///     }
339 ///
340 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
341 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
342 ///         return Err(e.into());
343 ///     }
344 ///
345 ///     Ok(())
346 /// }
347 /// # example()?;
348 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
349 /// ```
350 ///
351 /// Instead of these verbose [`match`]/[`if let`], the [`?`] operator can
352 /// be used to handle the [`Result`]. Using the [`?`] operator is often
353 /// the best choice to handle [`Result`] in a non-verbose way as done in
354 /// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]:
355 ///
356 /// ```
357 /// fn example() -> Result {
358 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
359 ///
360 ///     numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL)?;
361 ///     numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL)?;
362 ///     numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL)?;
363 ///
364 ///     Ok(())
365 /// }
366 /// # example()?;
367 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
368 /// ```
369 ///
370 /// Another possibility is to call [`unwrap()`](Result::unwrap) or
371 /// [`expect()`](Result::expect). However, use of these functions is
372 /// *heavily discouraged* in the kernel because they trigger a Rust
373 /// [`panic!`] if an error happens, which may destabilize the system or
374 /// entirely break it as a result -- just like the C [`BUG()`] macro.
375 /// Please see the documentation for the C macro [`BUG()`] for guidance
376 /// on when to use these functions.
377 ///
378 /// Alternatively, depending on the use case, using [`unwrap_or()`],
379 /// [`unwrap_or_else()`], [`unwrap_or_default()`] or [`unwrap_unchecked()`]
380 /// might be an option, as well.
381 ///
