Subject: [PATCH v2 01/25] rust: driver core: drop drvdata before devres release
Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 23:50:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506215113.851360-2-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506215113.851360-1-dakr@kernel.org>
Move the post_unbind_rust callback before devres_release_all() in
device_unbind_cleanup().
With drvdata() removed, the driver's bus device private data is only
accessible by the owning driver itself. It is hence safe to drop the
driver's bus device private data before devres actions are released.
This reordering is the key enabler for Higher-Ranked Lifetime Types
(HRT) in Rust device drivers -- it allows driver structs to hold direct
references to devres-managed resources, because the bus device private
data (and with it all such references) is guaranteed to be dropped while
the underlying devres resources are still alive.
Without this change, devres resources would be freed first, leaving the
driver's bus device private data with dangling references during its
destructor.
