Subject: [PATCH v2] uaccess: decouple INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and CONFIG_RUST
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 11:47:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024154754.99768-1-yury.norov@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit 1f9a8286bc0c ("uaccess: always export _copy_[from|to]_user with
CONFIG_RUST") exports _copy_{from,to}_user() unconditionally, if RUST
is enabled. This pollutes exported symbols namespace, and spreads RUST
ifdefery in core files.
It's better to declare a corresponding helper under the rust/helpers,
similarly to how non-underscored copy_{from,to}_user() is handled.

Andrew,
Can you kindly re-apply?
