Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] samples: rust_misc_device: Expand the sample to support read()ing from userspace
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 08:27:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813-iov-iter-v4-4-c4f1932b05ef@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250813-iov-iter-v4-0-c4f1932b05ef@google.com>
From: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>
A userland application can now operate on the char device with read() in
order to consume a locally held buffer. Memory for the buffer is to be
provisioned and the buffer populated in its subsequently provided
write() counterpart.
