This is a port of the Binder data structure introduced in commit
15d9da3f81 ("binder: use bitmap for faster descriptor lookup") to
Rust.
Like drivers/android/dbitmap.h, the ID pool abstraction lets
clients acquire and release IDs. The implementation uses a bitmap to
know what IDs are in use, and gives clients fine-grained control over
the time of allocation. This fine-grained control is needed in the
Android Binder. We provide an example that release a spinlock for
allocation and unit tests (rustdoc examples).
The implementation does not permit shrinking below capacity below
BITS_PER_LONG.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
