237 /// A [`Result`] with an [`Error`] error type.
238 ///
239 /// To be used as the return type for functions that may fail.
240 ///
241 /// # Error codes in C and Rust
242 ///
243 /// In C, it is common that functions indicate success or failure through
244 /// their return value; modifying or returning extra data through non-`const`
245 /// pointer parameters. In particular, in the kernel, functions that may fail
246 /// typically return an `int` that represents a generic error code. We model
247 /// those as [`Error`].
248 ///
249 /// In Rust, it is idiomatic to model functions that may fail as returning
250 /// a [`Result`]. Since in the kernel many functions return an error code,
251 /// [`Result`] is a type alias for a [`core::result::Result`] that uses
252 /// [`Error`] as its error type.
253 ///
254 /// Note that even if a function does not return anything when it succeeds,
255 /// it should still be modeled as returning a [`Result`] rather than
256 /// just an [`Error`].
257 ///
258 /// Calling a function that returns [`Result`] forces the caller to handle
259 /// the returned [`Result`].
260 ///
261 /// This can be done "manually" by using [`match`]. Using [`match`] to decode
262 /// the [`Result`] is similar to C where all the return value decoding and the
263 /// error handling is done explicitly by writing handling code for each
264 /// error to cover. Using [`match`] the error and success handling can be
265 /// implemented in all detail as required. For example (inspired by
266 /// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]):
267 ///
268 /// ```
269 /// # #[allow(clippy::single_match)]
270 /// fn example() -> Result {
271 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
272 ///
273 ///     match numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
274 ///         Err(e) => {
275 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
276 ///             return Err(e.into());
277 ///         }
278 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
279 ///         Ok(()) => (),
280 ///     }
281 ///
282 ///     match numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
283 ///         Err(e) => {
284 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
285 ///             return Err(e.into());
286 ///         }
287 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
288 ///         Ok(()) => (),
289 ///     }
290 ///
291 ///     match numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
292 ///         Err(e) => {
293 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
294 ///             return Err(e.into());
295 ///         }
296 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
297 ///         Ok(()) => (),

300 ///     Ok(())
301 /// }
302 /// # example()?;
303 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
304 /// ```
305 ///
306 /// An alternative to be more concise is the [`if let`] syntax:
307 ///
308 /// ```
309 /// fn example() -> Result {
310 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
311 ///
312 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
313 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
314 ///         return Err(e.into());
315 ///     }
316 ///
317 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
318 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
319 ///         return Err(e.into());
320 ///     }
321 ///
322 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
323 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
324 ///         return Err(e.into());
325 ///     }
326 ///
327 ///     Ok(())
328 /// }
329 /// # example()?;
330 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
331 /// ```
332 ///
333 /// Instead of these verbose [`match`]/[`if let`], the [`?`] operator can
334 /// be used to handle the [`Result`]. Using the [`?`] operator is often
335 /// the best choice to handle [`Result`] in a non-verbose way as done in
336 /// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]:
337 ///
338 /// ```
339 /// fn example() -> Result {
340 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
341 ///
342 ///     numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL)?;
343 ///     numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL)?;
344 ///     numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL)?;
345 ///
346 ///     Ok(())
347 /// }
348 /// # example()?;
349 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
350 /// ```
351 ///
352 /// Another possibility is to call [`unwrap()`](Result::unwrap) or
353 /// [`expect()`](Result::expect). However, use of these functions is
354 /// *heavily discouraged* in the kernel because they trigger a Rust
355 /// [`panic!`] if an error happens, which may destabilize the system or
356 /// entirely break it as a result -- just like the C [`BUG()`] macro.
357 /// Please see the documentation for the C macro [`BUG()`] for guidance
358 /// on when to use these functions.
359 ///
360 /// Alternatively, depending on the use case, using [`unwrap_or()`],
361 /// [`unwrap_or_else()`], [`unwrap_or_default()`] or [`unwrap_unchecked()`]
362 /// might be an option, as well.
