Subject: [PATCH v5 00/19] rust: drm: Higher-Ranked Lifetime private data
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 16:53:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260628145406.2107056-1-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
DRM ioctls run in process context without any guarantee that the parent
bus device is still bound. This series solves the problem by introducing
RegistrationGuard -- a guard representing a drm_dev_enter/exit SRCU
critical section that proves the parent bus device is bound for the
lifetime of the guard.
As initial plumbing for this, the DRM DeviceContext typestates are
reworked: Uninit is renamed to Normal, defaults are adjusted,
AlwaysRefCounted is restricted to Normal, and a Deref chain from
Device<T, Registered> to Device<T, Normal> is established. This gives
Device<T, Registered> the semantic that the device is currently
registered and the parent bus device is bound, which makes the
RegistrationGuard and ioctl dispatch much cleaner. An Ioctl context
restricts registration_guard() to ioctl dispatch, where the DRM core
guarantees prior registration.
On top of that, add RegistrationData as a GAT (Generic Associated Type)
on drm::Driver, allowing drivers to store data whose lifetime is tied to
the parent bus device binding scope. The data is allocated in
Registration::new(), lifetime-erased to 'static for storage, and made
accessible through Device<T, Registered>::registration_data_with(). The
closure's HRTB ties the lifetime to the closure scope; internally the
'static pointer is cast back to the closure-scoped lifetime. The
reference is valid for the duration of the drm_dev_enter/exit critical
section held by RegistrationGuard.
Also update the ioctl dispatch macro to wrap every handler in a
RegistrationGuard, returning ENODEV if the device has been unplugged,
and pass the registration data to handlers.
A branch with all patches can be found in [1].
[1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dakr/linux.git/log/?h=drm-lifetime
Changes in v5:
- Replace __call_ioctl() helper with a simple for<'a> fn(...) coercion
- Rebase onto latest drm-rust-next, which requires a faux::Device type with
AsBusDevice impl and motivates the removal of the DeviceContext generic from
shmem::Object entirely
- Replace ForLt with a GAT type RegistrationData<'a>
- Fix drm_dev_register() error path race on the C side
- Add a few missing #[inline] annotations
Changes in v4:
- Fix pre-existing unbounded lifetimes in ioctl handler arguments.
- Fix registration_guard() being callable on unregistered devices by
introducing an Ioctl device context typestate; registration_guard() is
now only available on Device<T, Ioctl>, which is exclusively
constructed in ioctl dispatch context where the DRM core guarantees
prior registration.
- Fix type inference allowing handlers to obtain Device<Registered>
before RegistrationGuard is acquired.
- Make RegistrationGuard !Send via NotThreadSafe to prevent potential
lockdep splats from cross-thread SRCU unlock.
- Store &Device<T, Registered> directly in RegistrationGuard instead of
calling assume_ctx() in Deref.
Changes in v3:
- Rename UnbindGuard to RegistrationGuard
- RegistrationGuard no longer dereferences to &Device<Bound>; it
dereferences to &drm::Device<T, Registered> instead
- Drop Registration::new() and rename Registration::new_with_lt() to
Registration::new()
- Rework DeviceContext typestates: rename Uninit to Normal, restrict
AlwaysRefCounted to Normal, establish Deref chain from Registered
to Normal
- Add AsRef<ParentDevice<Bound>> on Device<T, Registered> for parent
device access
- Move registration_data_with() from RegistrationGuard to
drm::Device<T, Registered>
- Ioctl handlers no longer receive &Device<Bound>, only registration
data and drm::Device<T, Registered>
- Use Device<Registered>::as_ref() to access parent device in nova-drm
Changes in v2:
- Replace unsafe direct registration data access in ioctl dispatch with
safe UnbindGuard::registration_data_with() closure
- Eliminate unbind_guard() free function; use type-inference anchor to
enable direct dev.unbind_guard() method call in the ioctl macro
- UnbindGuard::registration_data_with() provides both parent device and
registration data to the closure
- Add nova-drm conversion patch demonstrating lifetime-aware registration
data with &'bound auxiliary::Device<Bound>
- Various safety comment and documentation improvements
