The character count in the font data is unused. The internal fonts also
do not set it. Remove FNTCHARCNT().

* [PATCH v3 01/13] fbdev: Declare src parameter of fb_pad_ helpers as constant
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2026-03-09 14:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gregkh, deller, sam
  Cc: linux-fbdev, dri-devel, linux-kernel, Thomas Zimmermann
In-Reply-To: <20260309141723.137364-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>

Fbdev's padding helpers do not modify the source buffer. Declare the
parameter as 'const'.

Fbcon's font-rendering code calls these helpers with the font data.
Declaring src as const will allow for making the font data constant
as well.

While at it, also remove the extern qualifier from the function
declarations in the header file.

* [PATCH v3 04/13] vt: Calculate font-buffer size with vc_font_size()
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2026-03-09 14:14 UTC (permalink / raw)

In-Reply-To: <20260309141723.137364-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>

In fbcon, fbcon_resize() computes the size of the font buffer from the
values stored in vc_font. Move these calculations to the dedicated helpers
vc_font_pitch() and vc_font_size().

* [PATCH v3 00/13] vc,fbcon,fonts: Proper handling of font data
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2026-03-09 14:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gregkh, deller, sam
  Cc: linux-fbdev, dri-devel, linux-kernel, Thomas Zimmermann

Provide helpers for handling console font data. Update consoles and VT.

VT's vc_state stores font data as a plain byte array of glphys. Fbcon,
newport_con and the kernel's internal fonts store the glyph data as an
array of plain bytes plus a hidden header for reference counting, check
sums and buffer sizes. The reference counting only works for user-space
fonts but not for internal fonts. Font-data handling is duplicated in
several places. Most of the font handling is open-coded and mixed up with
VT's plain glyph arrays.

To address these issues, add proper handling of font data to all involved
components: struct vc_font for font state in VC; a font data type for the
consoles. Then implement interfaces for handling font data one by one.

Patch 1 prepares the fbdev interface.

Patches 2 to 4 prepare VT's font handling.

Patches 5 to 13 refactor fbcon and newport_con to use clean interfaces for
their fonts.

Fbcon has long been a source of problems and bug reports. [1] With its
confusing implementation, it is hard to find the cause of these bugs.
Cleaning up the fbcon code will hopefully help with resolving bug reports
in the future.

The series has been tested with fbcon under DRM's bochs driver by changing
fonts at runtime using the setfont utility. [2] The changes to newport_con
have only been tested to compile.

v3:
- fix module font linking (Nathan, Arnd)
- fix typos (Helge)
- clarify return value of font_data_put()
v2:
- keep declaring the internal fonts in the public header file (Helge)
- rebase and clean up

Add safe Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
allocator for physical memory management. The GPU buddy allocator
implements a binary buddy system useful for GPU physical memory
allocation. nova-core will use it for physical memory allocation.

Christian Koenig mentioned he'd like to step down from reviewer role for
GPU buddy so updated accordingly. Arun/Matthew agree on the modified entry.

In-Reply-To: <20260308180407.3988286-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>

This patch adds safe Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
allocator for physical memory management. The prerequisite infrastructure
patches (DRM buddy code movement and the uninitialized buddy fix) have been
absorbed into upstream -next, so this is now a standalone patch.

The git tree with all patches can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git (tag: gpu-buddy-bindings-v12.1-20260309)

Change log:

Changes from v12 to v12.1:
- Fixed undeclared type `GpuBuddyFlags` in doc examples: renamed to
  `GpuBuddyAllocFlags` in all seven doc test examples (found by kernel
  test robot).

Changes from v11 to v12:
- Rebased on linux-next; this is now a standalone single patch as dependencies
  are absorbed (but clist is a prerequisite).
- Redesigned allocation API (Alexandre Courbot) for better Rust ergonomics.
- Split single long example into 4 self-contained examples (Alexandre Courbot).
- Several safety and invariant comment changes (Danilo).
- MAINTAINERS changes (Arun, Mathew, Danilo, Dave).
- Fixed `#[cfg(CONFIG_GPU_BUDDY)]` to `#[cfg(CONFIG_GPU_BUDDY = "y")]` (Danilo Krummrich).
- Updated `ffi::clist::CListHead` to `interop::list::CListHead`.

Changes from v10 to v11:
- Dropped "rust: ffi: Convert pub use to pub mod and create ffi module" patch;
  the ffi module restructuring will go through a different path.
- Dropped "rust: clist: Add support to interface with C linked lists" patch;
  the clist module will be submitted separately.
- Dropped "nova-core: Kconfig: Sort select statements alphabetically" cosmetic
  patch.
- Patches 1-3 (DRM buddy movement and fix) are included as reference only;
  they are already being pulled into upstream via drm-misc-next.
- Removed clist patches as those can go in independently (Alice).
- Moved the Kconfig GPU_BUDDY selection patch to nova-core mm series to enable
  it when it is actually used.
- Various nits to comments, etc.

Changes from v9 to v10:
- Absorbed the DRM buddy code movement patches into this series as patches 1-2.
  Dave Airlie reworked these into two parts for better git history.
- Added "gpu: Fix uninitialized buddy for built-in drivers" fix by Koen Koning,
  using subsys_initcall instead of module_init to fix NULL pointer dereference
  when built-in drivers use the buddy allocator before initialization.
- Added "rust: ffi: Convert pub use to pub mod and create ffi module" to prepare
  the ffi module for hosting clist as a sub-module.
- Moved clist from rust/kernel/clist.rs to rust/kernel/ffi/.
- Added "nova-core: Kconfig: Sort select statements alphabetically" (Danilo).

Changes from v8 to v9:
- Updated nova-core Kconfig patch: addressed sorting of Kconfig options.
- Added Daniel Almeida's Reviewed-by tag to clist patch.
- Minor refinements to GPU buddy bindings.

Changes from v7 to v8:
- Added nova-core Kconfig patch to select GPU_BUDDY for VRAM allocation.
- Various changes suggested by Danilo Krummrich, Gary Guo, and Daniel Almeida.
- Added Acked-by: Gary Guo for clist patch.

Changes from v6 to v7:
- Major restructuring: split the large 26-patch v6 RFC series. v7 only contains
  the Rust infrastructure patches (clist + GPU buddy bindings), extracted from
  the full nova-core MM series. The nova-core MM patches follow separately.
- Rebased on linux-next.

Hi Greg,

You were absolutely right. I just set up my local build environment and ran `make drivers/staging/sm750fb/sm750.o`, and it immediately threw `error: assignment of read-only location`.

I fell into the classic checkpatch trap. I blindly applied the `const` suggestion without checking the surrounding code, failing to realize the driver dynamically writes to `g_fbmode` during runtime in `sm750fb_setup` and `lynxfb_set_fbinfo`. 

Thank you for pushing me to test-build. I will drop this patch entirely, as the checkpatch warning is a false positive here. I have learned a valuable lesson about not trusting static analysis scripts over actually reading the C code and compiling it.

Best regards,
Dipesh Chaudhary

I sincerely apologize for that. This is my very first kernel patch, and I was experimenting with the Makefile earlier on my local machine. I accidentally staged and included it in my commit alongside the driver fix without realizing it.

> And did you test-build your change?

To be completely honest, no. I only ran `checkpatch.pl` to verify the warning was resolved. 

I will clean up my Git tree, figure out how to test-build the specific sm750 module locally, and then submit a clean v2 patch. Thank you for your patience with a beginner.

Best regards,
Dipesh Chaudhary

Why have you changed the Makefile?

This patch fixes a checkpatch.pl warning:
WARNING: static const char * array should probably be static const char * const
by adding the missing const keyword to the g_fbmode array declaration.

Add safe Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
allocator for physical memory management. The GPU buddy allocator
implements a binary buddy system useful for GPU physical memory
allocation. nova-core will use it for physical memory allocation.

Christian Koenig mentioned he'd like to step down from reviewer role for
GPU buddy so updated accordingly. Arun/Matthew agree on the modified entry.

This patch adds safe Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
allocator for physical memory management. The prerequisite infrastructure
patches (DRM buddy code movement and the uninitialized buddy fix) have been
absorbed into upstream -next, so this is now a standalone patch.

The series along with all dependencies, including clist and nova-core mm
patches, are available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git (tag: nova-mm-current-3-8)

This patch is also here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git/commit/?id=gpu-buddy-bindings-v12 

Change log:

Changes from v11 to v12:
- Rebased on linux-next his is now a standalone single patch as dependencies
  are absorbed (but not clist is a prequisite)
- Redesigned allocation API (Alexandre Courbot) for better Rust ergonomics.
- Split single long example into 4 self-contained examples (Alexandre Courbot).
- Several safety and invariant comment changes (Danilo).
- MAINTAINERS changes (Arun, Mathew, Danilo, Dave).
- Fixed `#[cfg(CONFIG_GPU_BUDDY)]` to `#[cfg(CONFIG_GPU_BUDDY = "y")]` (Danilo Krummrich).
- Updated `ffi::clist::CListHead` to `interop::list::CListHead`.

Changes from v10 to v11:
- Dropped "rust: ffi: Convert pub use to pub mod and create ffi module" patch;
  the ffi module restructuring will go through a different path.
- Dropped "rust: clist: Add support to interface with C linked lists" patch;
  the clist module will be submitted separately.
- Dropped "nova-core: Kconfig: Sort select statements alphabetically" cosmetic
  patch.
- Patches 1-3 (DRM buddy movement and fix) are included as reference only;
  they are already being pulled into upstream via drm-misc-next.
- Removed clist patches as those can go in independently (Alice).
- Moved the Kconfig GPU_BUDDY selection patch to nova-core mm series to enable
  it when it is actually used.
- Various nits to comments, etc.

Changes from v9 to v10:
- Absorbed the DRM buddy code movement patches into this series as patches 1-2.
  Dave Airlie reworked these into two parts for better git history.
- Added "gpu: Fix uninitialized buddy for built-in drivers" fix by Koen Koning,
  using subsys_initcall instead of module_init to fix NULL pointer dereference
  when built-in drivers use the buddy allocator before initialization.
- Added "rust: ffi: Convert pub use to pub mod and create ffi module" to prepare
  the ffi module for hosting clist as a sub-module.
- Moved clist from rust/kernel/clist.rs to rust/kernel/ffi/.
- Added "nova-core: Kconfig: Sort select statements alphabetically" (Danilo).

Changes from v8 to v9:
- Updated nova-core Kconfig patch: addressed sorting of Kconfig options.
- Added Daniel Almeida's Reviewed-by tag to clist patch.
- Minor refinements to GPU buddy bindings.

Changes from v7 to v8:
- Added nova-core Kconfig patch to select GPU_BUDDY for VRAM allocation.
- Various changes suggested by Danilo Krummrich, Gary Guo, and Daniel Almeida.
- Added Acked-by: Gary Guo for clist patch.

Changes from v6 to v7:
- Major restructuring: split the large 26-patch v6 RFC series. v7 only contains
  the Rust infrastructure patches (clist + GPU buddy bindings), extracted from
  the full nova-core MM series. The nova-core MM patches follow separately.
- Rebased on linux-next.

Changes from v5 to v6:
- Rebased on drm-rust-kernel/drm-rust-next.
- Expanded from 6 to 26 patches with full nova-core MM infrastructure including
  page table walker, VMM, BAR1 user interface, TLB flush, and GpuMm manager.

Changes from v4 to v5:
- Added PRAMIN aperture support with documentation and self-tests.
- Improved buddy allocator bindings (fewer lines of code).
- Based on drm-rust-next instead of linux-next.

Changes from v3 to v4:
- Combined the clist and DRM buddy series into a single coherent series.
- Added DRM buddy allocator movement from drivers/gpu/drm/ up to drivers/gpu/,
  renaming API from drm_buddy to gpu_buddy.
- Added Rust bindings for the GPU buddy allocator.

Changes from v2 to v3:
- Squashed 3 clist patches into one due to inter-dependencies.
- Changed Clist to Clist<'a, T> using const generic offset (Alex Courbot).
- Simplified C helpers to only list_add_tail (Alex Courbot, John Hubbard).
- Added init_list_head() Rust function (Alex Courbot).
- Added FusedIterator, PartialEq/Eq impls.
- Added MAINTAINERS entry (Miguel Ojeda).

Changes from v1 (RFC) to v2:
- Dropped DRM buddy allocator patches; series focuses solely on clist module.
- Dropped sample modules, replaced with doctests.
- Added proper lifetime management similar to scatterlist.
- Split clist into 3 separate patches.

* [PATCH] staging: sm750fb: add missing const qualifier to char pointer array
From: Oskar Ray-Frayssinet @ 2026-03-07 13:18 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: sudipm.mukherjee, teddy.wang, gregkh

Add missing 'const' qualifier to g_fbmode pointer array declaration
to make both the pointers and the strings they point to immutable.

Add a new module `kernel::interop::list` for working with C's doubly
circular linked lists. Provide low-level iteration over list nodes.

Typed iteration over actual items is provided with a `clist_create`
macro to assist in creation of the `CList` type.

+//! Rust interface for C doubly circular intrusive linked lists.
+//!
+//! This module provides Rust abstractions for iterating over C `list_head`-based
+//! linked lists. It should only be used for cases where C and Rust code share
+//! direct access to the same linked list through a C interop interface.
+//!
+//! Note: This *must not* be used by Rust components that just need a linked list
+//! primitive. Use [`kernel::list::List`] instead.
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use kernel::{
+//!     bindings,
+//!     clist_create,
+//!     types::Opaque,
+//! };
+//! # // Create test list with values (0, 10, 20) - normally done by C code but it is
+//! # // emulated here for doctests using the C bindings.
+//! # use core::mem::MaybeUninit;
+//! #
+//! # /// C struct with embedded `list_head` (typically will be allocated by C code).
+//! # #[repr(C)]
+//! # pub struct SampleItemC {
+//! #     pub value: i32,
+//! #     pub link: bindings::list_head,
+//! # }
+//! #
+//! # let mut head = MaybeUninit::<bindings::list_head>::uninit();
+//! #

+//! #
+//! # for (i, item) in items.iter_mut().enumerate() {
+//! #     let ptr = item.as_mut_ptr();

The interop/list module provides Rust abstractions for iterating over C
list_head-based linked lists. The primary use-case right now is iterating
over GPU buddy allocator blocks.

This series provides the interop/list module required for GPU buddy bindings,
which is inturn required for nova-core memory memory management. This patch is
being sent separately from the rest of the preparatory patches (DRM buddy
movement, GPU buddy bindings, etc.) as it can go in independently.

The git tree with the patch can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git (tag: interop-v12-20260306)

Change log:

Changes from v11 to v12:
- Renamed module from ffi/clist to interop/list, reflecting community feedback
  that 'interop' better describes the purpose than 'ffi' (credit to Boqun for
  starting this idea.)
- Updated MAINTAINERS entry from "RUST [FFI HELPER]" to "RUST [INTEROP]"
  and updated git tree reference.
- Added Acked-by from Miguel.

Changes from v10 to v11:
- Sending only the ffi/clist patches separately from the rest of the
  preparatory series, as these can go in independently.
- MAINTAINERS entry: Renamed from "RUST TO C LIST INTERFACES" to
  "RUST [FFI HELPER]" with (CLIST) scope annotations for maintainers,
  following Danilo's suggestion. Note: There is still an ongoing
  discussion about the MAINTAINER file entry naming between Miguel and
  Danilo: https://lore.kernel.org/all/DGJXYEXCYIII.Z6FOAA8YYMAZ@kernel.org/
- Updated clist.rs module documentation per Danilo's review: generalized
  the FFI usage description and added explicit note directing Rust-only
  users to kernel::list::List instead.
- Implemented suggestions from Alice related to safety of CList wrt
  concurrent modifications.
- Removed unnecessary trailing comment markers from example imports.
- Added feature guard for offset_of_nested (Eliot).

Changes from v9 to v10:
- Combined clist/ffi patches into the larger "Preparatory patches for
  nova-core memory management" series (8 patches total).
- Added new ffi module patch: Convert pub use to pub mod and create
  rust/kernel/ffi/mod.rs to host clist as a sub-module.
- Moved clist from rust/kernel/clist.rs to rust/kernel/ffi/clist.rs.
- Added Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags from Gary and Daniel.

Changes from v8 to v9:
- Added nova-core Kconfig change to select GPU_BUDDY.
- Minor fixups.

Changes from v7 to v8:
- Various changes suggested by Danilo, Gary, Daniel. Added tags.

Changes from v6 to v7:
- Extracted clist and GPU buddy patches from the larger RFC v6 nova-core
  memory management series into a standalone series.
- Changes based on suggestions by Gary and Dave.

Changes from v5 to v6:
- Part of the larger RFC v6 nova-core memory management series
  (26 patches).

Changes from v4 to v5:
- Part of the larger RFC v5 nova-core memory management series
  (6 patches).

Changes from v3 to v4:
- Combined the clist and DRM buddy series back together.
- Added Rust bindings for the GPU buddy allocator.
- Moved DRM buddy allocator one level up to drivers/gpu/ so it can be
  used by GPU drivers (e.g. nova-core) that have non-DRM usecases.

Changes from v2 to v3:
- Consolidated 3 patches into a single patch.

Changes from v1 to v2:
- Dropped the DRM buddy allocator patches. Series now focuses solely on
  the clist module.
- Dropped samples and added doctests.
- Added proper lifetime management similar to scatterlist.

Yeah, that appears to work for me as well.

Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> # build

It seems like the asm/sections.h include can be dropped as well, since
that was only included for is_kernel_rodata() AFAICT.

* [PATCH] fbdev: macfb: Replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy
From: Thorsten Blum @ 2026-03-05 10:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Helge Deller; +Cc: Thorsten Blum, linux-fbdev, dri-devel, linux-kernel

strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking
on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. Replace
it with the safer strscpy().  No functional changes.
