Subject: [PATCH v4 10/16] rust: drm: Add RegistrationGuard for drm_dev_enter/exit critical sections
Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 20:48:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260620184924.2247517-11-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260620184924.2247517-1-dakr@kernel.org>
DRM ioctls do not guarantee that the parent bus device is still bound.
However, since DRM device registration is managed through Devres, using
drm_dev_unplug() on unregistration ensures that between drm_dev_enter()
and drm_dev_exit() the parent device must be bound.
Add RegistrationGuard, a guard object representing a drm_dev_enter/exit
SRCU critical section that dereferences to &Device<T, Registered>. The
guard is obtained from Device<T, Ioctl> and proves at runtime that the
device is still registered.
Switch Registration::drop from drm_dev_unregister() to drm_dev_unplug()
to provide the SRCU barrier that RegistrationGuard's safety argument
relies on.
