Subject: [PATCH v3 01/10] SUNRPC: Carry a generated-codec context pointer in struct xdr_stream
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 09:42:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908134234.512312-2-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908134234.512312-1-cel@kernel.org>

A generated XDR codec function receives only an xdr_stream, yet
some codecs need state that the stream does not carry. Passing
that state as an additional argument changes the signature of
every function on the path from the program entry point down to
the one that consumes it, and for generated code it makes each
function's argument list depend on an analysis of the entire
specification.

Add xdrgen_ctx to struct xdr_stream, a pointer that the layer
initializing the stream sets aside for generated codecs to find,
following the precedent of seq_file->private and
netlink_callback->data. Every xdr_stream initializer clears it, so
a codec never reads a residual value left in a stream that was
allocated on the stack or taken from a transport's free pool.
