Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] rust: miscdevice: add additional data to MiscDeviceRegistration
Date: Sat, 07 Jun 2025 14:07:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250607-b4-rust_miscdevice_registrationdata-v5-0-b77b5b7aab5b@gmail.com> (raw)
Currently there is no good way to pass arbitrary data from the driver to
a `miscdevice` or to share data between individual handles to a
`miscdevice` in rust.
This series adds additional (generic) data to the MiscDeviceRegistration
for this purpose.
The first patch originally comes from my `UnsafePinned` patch series [0].
The second patch implements the changes and fixes the build of the sample
without changing any functionality (this is currently the only in tree
user).
The third patch changes the `rust_misc_device` sample to use this to
share the same data between multiple handles to the `miscdevice`.
I have tested the sample with qemu and the C userspace example
from the doc comments.
Some discussion on Zulip about the motivation and approach [1].
Thanks a lot to everyone helping me out with this.
This patch series is based on the rust-next branch.

Changes in v5:
- Remove repr(C) and PhantomData (Benno)
- Rename `RegistrationData` to just `Data` (Benno)
- Add bound `Data: Send` bound to `impl Send for
MiscDeviceRegistration` (Benno)
- Add safety comment about `MiscDeviceRegistration: Send` requirement
- Add Invariants to `MiscDeviceRegistration` (Benno)
- Slightly reword safety comment in drop.
- Removed spurious newline changes in sample (Benno)
- Removed spurious typo fix (Miguel)
- Add Alice's Reviewed-by from v3.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250530-b4-rust_miscdevice_registrationdata-v4-0-d313aafd7e59@gmail.com
Changes in v4:
- Rework to use Opaque instead of `UnsafePinned`.
- Include `impl Wrapper for Opaque` patch.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250517-b4-rust_miscdevice_registrationdata-v3-0-cdb33e228d37@gmail.com
Changes in v3:
- Rebased on top of my `UnsafePinned` series.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250131-b4-rust_miscdevice_registrationdata-v2-0-588f1e6cfabe@gmail.com
Changes in v2:
- Don't use associated_type_bounds since the MSRV does not support
that on stable yet (Kernel test robot)
- Doc changes and add intra-doc links (Miguel)
- Use container_of macro instead of pointer cast in `fops_open` (Greg)
- Rename `Aliased` to `UnsafePinned` (Boqun)
- Make sure Data is initialized before `misc_register` is called
- Rework the example to use an additional shared value instead of
replacing the unique one
- Expanded the c code for the example to use the new ioctls
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250119-b4-rust_miscdevice_registrationdata-v1-0-edbf18dde5fc@gmail.com
