When allocating memory for arrays using allocators, the `Layout::array` function is typically used. It returns a result, since the given size might be too big. However, `Vec` and its iterators store their allocated capacity and thus they already did check that the size is not too big. The `ArrayLayout` type provides this exact behavior, as it can be infallibly converted into a `Layout`. Instead of a `usize` capacity, `Vec` and other similar array-storing types can use `ArrayLayout` instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
