Subject: [GIT PULL] [PATCH 00/14] Rust atomic changes for v6.18

Hi Will, Peter and Mark,

I'm sending this pull request containing Rust atomic changes to tip
tree. You can find the technical details below, but most importantly we
got a new reviewer for ATOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE that can help maintaining
the code. Welcome Gary!

Similar to other pull requests of myself to the tip tree, this pull
request is sent in form as patch series as well, in case that I missed
something and changes are needed in some patch.

Thanks!

  MAINTAINERS: update atomic infrastructure entry to include Rust (2025-09-01 19:15:53 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Rust atomic changes for v6.18:

- Add initial support for generic LKMM atomic variables in Rust. This
  ensures Rust and C side are using the same memory model when
  communicating with each other, and would unblock a few more
  fine-grained concurrent core on Rust side.

- Add the wrapper for `refcount_t` in Rust. This avoids using customized
  reference counting solution on Rust side (e.g. in `block::mq`).
