sefer-alloc 0.2.1

A safe-by-construction, 100% Rust memory toolkit (no C/C++ libraries — no libnuma/mimalloc/jemalloc/snmalloc/tcmalloc): a single-threaded handle store (Region<T>) and a drop-in #[global_allocator] (SeferAlloc) over one verified segment substrate, with #![forbid(unsafe_code)] at the top.
Documentation
//! Phase 35 (M6 decommit) — stale-ring-into-decommitted-segment safety test
//! (`alloc-decommit` + `alloc-xthread`), design §5.
//!
//! ## Background
//!
//! The worst failure of M6 is a use-after-free / write-to-unmapped on a page we
//! returned to the OS. The danger path: a cross-thread free pushes a block's
//! offset into a segment's `RemoteFreeRing`; the segment later empties and is
//! decommitted + reset (bump → `small_meta_end`, bitmap zeroed); then the owner
//! drains that STALE ring entry. Without a guard, `reclaim_offset` would pass the
//! (reset-cleared) bitmap `is_free` check and `write_next` into a decommitted
//! payload page.
//!
//! ## Design (task #60 slot-recycle adaptation)
//!
//! Task #60 added slot recycling under `alloc-decommit`: when a segment empties
//! and is decommitted, its table slot is NULLed and its OS reservation is released.
//! This changes the stale-entry scenario:
//!
//!   - **Own-thread dealloc path** (`dealloc_small`): recycling happens IMMEDIATELY
//!     after decommit (no drain in progress). The slot is NULLed before any
//!     subsequent call. Any "stale" cross-thread push that arrives AFTER the recycle
//!     is rejected by `contains_base` (returns `false`) in `dbg_push_to_ring`,
//!     which returns `false` — the ring is not even written.
//!
//!   - **Ring drain path** (`find_segment_with_free` / `dbg_drain_all_rings`):
//!     recycling is DEFERRED until the full drain for that segment completes. During
//!     the drain, the segment is still in the table; the `off >= bump` guard (set
//!     by the decommit reset) rejects entries that arrive AFTER the decommit fires
//!     mid-drain (e.g. duplicate entries, extra pushes).
//!
//! ## What this test covers
//!
//! **Scenario A — within-drain stale (ring path):**
//! Push K blocks to the ring + one duplicate entry for the first block. Drain via
//! `dbg_drain_all_rings`. The K unique reclaims eventually empty the segment →
//! decommit fires → bump reset → duplicate entry hits `off >= bump` → no-op. Verify
//! the allocator is healthy after.
//!
//! **Scenario B — post-recycle push (own-thread path):**
//! Own-thread dealloc all blocks → decommit + recycle fires immediately. Then
//! `dbg_push_to_ring` for a pointer whose segment is now recycled (slot NULLed)
//! returns `false` — the push is rejected. Verify the ring was not written and
//! the allocator is healthy.
//!
//! Under miri the decommit is a no-op so pages stay accessible; the test still
//! proves the LOGIC (guards fire, free list not corrupted) without checking RSS.

/// Scenario A: stale ring entries within the drain are rejected by `off >= bump`.
///
/// Protocol:
/// 1. Alloc enough blocks to spill past the primordial into fresh Small segments.
/// 2. Push every block to its segment's ring (simulating cross-thread frees) BEFORE
///    any own-thread dealloc — so live_count is still K for each segment's K blocks.
/// 3. Push the FIRST block again (a duplicate "stale" entry).
/// 4. Drain via `dbg_drain_all_rings`. The K unique entries reclaim their blocks;
///    when the last one empties a segment, decommit fires and bump is reset. The
///    duplicate entry (processed after the decommit trigger in the same drain batch)
///    sees `off >= bump` and is a no-op.
/// 5. Verify: re-allocate 200 blocks; each must be valid, writable, and distinct.
