/// A [`Result`] with an [`Error`] error type.
///
/// To be used as the return type for functions that may fail.
///
/// # Error codes in C and Rust
///
/// In C, it is common that functions indicate success or failure through
/// their return value; modifying or returning extra data through non-`const`
/// pointer parameters. In particular, in the kernel, functions that may fail
/// typically return an `int` that represents a generic error code. We model
/// those as [`Error`].
///
/// In Rust, it is idiomatic to model functions that may fail as returning
/// a [`Result`]. Since in the kernel many functions return an error code,
/// [`Result`] is a type alias for a [`core::result::Result`] that uses
/// [`Error`] as its error type.
///
/// Note that even if a function does not return anything when it succeeds,
/// it should still be modeled as returning a [`Result`] rather than
/// just an [`Error`].
///
/// Calling a function that returns [`Result`] forces the caller to handle
/// the returned [`Result`].
///
/// This can be done "manually" by using [`match`]. Using [`match`] to decode
/// the [`Result`] is similar to C where all the return value decoding and the
/// error handling is done explicitly by writing handling code for each
/// error to cover. Using [`match`] the error and success handling can be
/// implemented in all detail as required. For example (inspired by
/// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]):
///
/// ```
/// # #[allow(clippy::single_match)]
/// fn example() -> Result {
///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
///
///     match numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
///         Err(e) => {
///             pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
///             return Err(e.into());
///         }
///         // Do nothing, continue.
///         Ok(()) => (),
///     }
///
///     match numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
///         Err(e) => {
///             pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
///             return Err(e.into());
///         }
///         // Do nothing, continue.
///         Ok(()) => (),
///     }
///
///     match numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
///         Err(e) => {
///             pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
///             return Err(e.into());
///         }
///         // Do nothing, continue.
///         Ok(()) => (),
///     }
///
///     Ok(())
/// }
/// # example()?;
/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
/// ```
///
/// An alternative to be more concise is the [`if let`] syntax:
///
/// ```
/// fn example() -> Result {
///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
///
///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
///         pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
///         return Err(e.into());
///     }
///
///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
///         pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
///         return Err(e.into());
///     }
///
///     if let Err(e) = numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
///         pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
///         return Err(e.into());
///     }
///
///     Ok(())
/// }
/// # example()?;
/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
/// ```
///
/// Instead of these verbose [`match`]/[`if let`], the [`?`] operator can
/// be used to handle the [`Result`]. Using the [`?`] operator is often
/// the best choice to handle [`Result`] in a non-verbose way as done in
/// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]:
///
/// ```
/// fn example() -> Result {
///     let mut numbers = KVec::new();
///
///     numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL)?;
///     numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL)?;
///     numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL)?;
///
///     Ok(())
/// }
/// # example()?;
/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
/// ```
///
/// Another possibility is to call [`unwrap()`](Result::unwrap) or
/// [`expect()`](Result::expect). However, use of these functions is
/// *heavily discouraged* in the kernel because they trigger a Rust
/// [`panic!`] if an error happens, which may destabilize the system or
/// entirely break it as a result -- just like the C [`BUG()`] macro.
/// Please see the documentation for the C macro [`BUG()`] for guidance
/// on when to use these functions.
///
/// Alternatively, depending on the use case, using [`unwrap_or()`],
/// [`unwrap_or_else()`], [`unwrap_or_default()`] or [`unwrap_unchecked()`]
/// might be an option, as well.
