252 /// A [`Result`] with an [`Error`] error type.
253 ///
254 /// To be used as the return type for functions that may fail.
255 ///
256 /// # Error codes in C and Rust
257 ///
258 /// In C, it is common that functions indicate success or failure through
259 /// their return value; modifying or returning extra data through non-`const`
260 /// pointer parameters. In particular, in the kernel, functions that may fail
261 /// typically return an `int` that represents a generic error code. We model
262 /// those as [`Error`].
263 ///
264 /// In Rust, it is idiomatic to model functions that may fail as returning
265 /// a [`Result`]. Since in the kernel many functions return an error code,
266 /// [`Result`] is a type alias for a [`core::result::Result`] that uses
267 /// [`Error`] as its error type.
268 ///
269 /// Note that even if a function does not return anything when it succeeds,
270 /// it should still be modeled as returning a [`Result`] rather than
271 /// just an [`Error`].
272 ///
273 /// Calling a function that returns [`Result`] forces the caller to handle
274 /// the returned [`Result`].
275 ///
276 /// This can be done "manually" by using [`match`]. Using [`match`] to decode
277 /// the [`Result`] is similar to C where all the return value decoding and the
278 /// error handling is done explicitly by writing handling code for each
279 /// error to cover. Using [`match`] the error and success handling can be
280 /// implemented in all detail as required. For example (inspired by
281 /// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]):
282 ///
283 /// ```
284 /// # #[allow(clippy::single_match)]
285 /// fn example() -> Result {
286 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
287 ///
288 ///     match numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
289 ///         Err(e) => {
290 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
291 ///             return Err(e.into());
292 ///         }
293 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
294 ///         Ok(()) => (),
295 ///     }
296 ///
297 ///     match numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
298 ///         Err(e) => {
299 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
300 ///             return Err(e.into());
301 ///         }
302 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
303 ///         Ok(()) => (),
304 ///     }
305 ///
306 ///     match numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
307 ///         Err(e) => {
308 ///             pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
309 ///             return Err(e.into());
310 ///         }
311 ///         // Do nothing, continue.
312 ///         Ok(()) => (),
313 ///     }

315 ///     Ok(())
316 /// }
317 /// # example()?;
318 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
319 /// ```
320 ///
321 /// An alternative to be more concise is the [`if let`] syntax:
322 ///
323 /// ```
324 /// fn example() -> Result {
325 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
326 ///
327 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
328 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
329 ///         return Err(e.into());
330 ///     }
331 ///
332 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
333 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
334 ///         return Err(e.into());
335 ///     }
336 ///
337 ///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
338 ///         pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
339 ///         return Err(e.into());
340 ///     }
341 ///
342 ///     Ok(())
343 /// }
344 /// # example()?;
345 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
346 /// ```
347 ///
348 /// Instead of these verbose [`match`]/[`if let`], the [`?`] operator can
349 /// be used to handle the [`Result`]. Using the [`?`] operator is often
350 /// the best choice to handle [`Result`] in a non-verbose way as done in
351 /// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]:
352 ///
353 /// ```
354 /// fn example() -> Result {
355 ///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
356 ///
357 ///     numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL)?;
358 ///     numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL)?;
359 ///     numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL)?;
360 ///
361 ///     Ok(())
362 /// }
363 /// # example()?;
364 /// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
365 /// ```
366 ///
367 /// Another possibility is to call [`unwrap()`](Result::unwrap) or
368 /// [`expect()`](Result::expect). However, use of these functions is
369 /// *heavily discouraged* in the kernel because they trigger a Rust
370 /// [`panic!`] if an error happens, which may destabilize the system or
371 /// entirely break it as a result -- just like the C [`BUG()`] macro.
372 /// Please see the documentation for the C macro [`BUG()`] for guidance
373 /// on when to use these functions.
374 ///
375 /// Alternatively, depending on the use case, using [`unwrap_or()`],
376 /// [`unwrap_or_else()`], [`unwrap_or_default()`] or [`unwrap_unchecked()`]
377 /// might be an option, as well.
378 ///
