Subject: [PATCH 19/23] revocable: Support to define revocable consumer handle on stack
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 08:10:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116081036.352286-20-tzungbi@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116081036.352286-1-tzungbi@kernel.org>
Support a way to define a revocable consumer handle on stack. Under
some circumstances, the user wouldn't like to use dynamic memory
allocation for consumer handles.
This makes the struct revocable no longer opaque.
