Close #1057

ojeda commented 5 months ago

Thanks!

The commit should be signed (in the Signed-off-by sense, please see https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#developer-s-certificate-of-origin-1-1) and should have a Link: tag to the issue.

The commit message could perhaps also show how a user would look like (like one of the ones linked in the issue).

Apart from that, it seems OK to submit it to the mailing list -- please see https://rust-for-linux.com/contributing.

Looks good. Is there code in the tree that can use this right away or we'd have to wait for patches to get merged?

try_from_foreign (option 1 in the linked issue) is now in rust-next.
