Trait KernelLoader

pub trait KernelLoader {
    // Required method
    fn load<F, M: GuestMemory>(
        guest_mem: &M,
        kernel_offset: Option<GuestAddress>,
        kernel_image: &mut F,
        highmem_start_address: Option<GuestAddress>,
    ) -> Result<KernelLoaderResult>
       where F: Read + ReadVolatile + Seek;
}

Trait that specifies kernel image loading support.

Required Methods

fn load<F, M: GuestMemory>( guest_mem: &M, kernel_offset: Option<GuestAddress>, kernel_image: &mut F, highmem_start_address: Option<GuestAddress>, ) -> Result<KernelLoaderResult>

where F: Read + ReadVolatile + Seek,

How to load a specific kernel image format into the guest memory.

Arguments

• guest_mem: GuestMemory to load the kernel in.
• kernel_offset: Usage varies between implementations.
• kernel_image: Kernel image to be loaded.
• highmem_start_address: Address where high memory starts.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
