[PATCH v3 01/14] rust: drm: gem: Simplify use of generics

[PATCH v3 01/14] rust: drm: gem: Simplify use of generics

[Lyude Paul]

Now that my rust skills have been honed, I noticed that there's a lot of
generics in our gem bindings that don't actually need to be here. Currently
the hierarchy of traits in our gem bindings looks like this:

  * Drivers implement:
    * BaseDriverObject<T: DriverObject> (has the callbacks)
    * DriverObject (has the drm::Driver type)
  * Crate implements:
    * IntoGEMObject for Object<T> where T: DriverObject
      Handles conversion to/from raw object pointers
    * BaseObject for T where T: IntoGEMObject
      Provides methods common to all gem interfaces

  Also of note, this leaves us with two different drm::Driver associated
  types:
    * DriverObject::Driver
    * IntoGEMObject::Driver

I'm not entirely sure of the original intent here unfortunately (if anyone
is, please let me know!), but my guess is that the idea would be that some
objects can implement IntoGEMObject using a different ::Driver than
DriverObject - presumably to enable the usage of gem objects from different
drivers. A reasonable usecase of course.

However - if I'm not mistaken, I don't think that this is actually how
things would go in practice. Driver implementations are of course
implemented by their associated drivers, and generally drivers are not
linked to each-other when building the kernel. Which is to say that even in
a situation where we would theoretically deal with gem objects from another
driver, we still wouldn't have access to its drm::driver::Driver
implementation. It's more likely we would simply want a variant of gem
objects in such a situation that have no association with a
drm::driver::Driver type.

Taking that into consideration, we can assume the following:
* Anything that implements BaseDriverObject will implement DriverObject
  In other words, all BaseDriverObjects indirectly have an associated
  ::Driver type - so the two traits can be combined into one with no
  generics.
* Not everything that implements IntoGEMObject will have an associated
  ::Driver, and that's OK.

And with this, we now can do quite a bit of cleanup with the use of
generics here. As such, this commit:

* Removes the generics on BaseDriverObject
* Moves DriverObject::Driver into BaseDriverObject
* Removes DriverObject
* Removes IntoGEMObject::Driver
* Add AllocImpl::Driver, which we can use as a binding to figure out the
  correct File type for BaseObject

Leaving us with a simpler trait hierarchy that now looks like this:

  * Drivers implement: BaseDriverObject
  * Crate implements:
    * IntoGEMObject for Object<T> where T: DriverObject
    * BaseObject for T where T: IntoGEMObject

Which makes the code a lot easier to understand and build on :).

V2:
* Don't refer to Object<T> in callbacks, as this would result in drivers
  getting the wrong gem object type for shmem gem objects once we add
  support for those. Instead, we'll just add a type alias to clean this
  part up.
V3:
* Fix nova compilation
* Also, add an associated driver type to AllocImpl - as we still need the
  current driver accessible from BaseObject so that we can use the driver's
  various associated types, like File
V4:
* Add missing Object = Self constraint to type bounds for create_handle,
  lookup_handle. I forgot that if drivers can have private gem objects with
  a different data layout, we can only guarantee gem objects with handles
  are of the same gem object type as the main one in use by the driver.

[PATCH v3 04/14] rust: drm: gem: Support driver-private GEM object types

[Lyude Paul]

One of the original intents with the gem bindings was that drivers could
specify additional gem implementations, in order to enable for driver
private gem objects. This wasn't really possible however, as up until now
our GEM bindings have always assumed that the only GEM object we would run
into was driver::Driver::Object - meaning that implementing another GEM
object type would result in all of the BaseDriverObject callbacks assuming
the wrong type.

This is a pretty easy fix though, all we need to do is specify a
BaseDriverObject in driver::Driver instead of an AllocImpl, and then add an
associated type for AllocImpl in BaseDriverObject. That way each
BaseDriverObject has its own AllocImpl allowing it to know which type to
provide in BaseDriverObject callbacks, and driver::Driver can simply go
through the BaseDriverObject to its AllocImpl type in order to get access
to ALLOC_OPS.

So, let's do this and update Nova for these changes.

V4:
* Update trait bounds. This looks gnarlier then it is:

    Self: AllocImpl<Driver = D>, <-- Get the driver for this GEM object
    D: drm::Driver<Object = O, File = F>, <-- Get the driver's Object, File
                                              impl
    F: drm::file::DriverFile,
    O: BaseDriverObject<Object = Self>, <-- Make sure we're the driver's
                                            main GEM object impl.
  (don't worry, the compiler can always figure out what D, F, O are)
* Also, rename the commit. I realized I should be clearer about what this
  does so people can stop me if this isn't what was meant by private gem
  object implementations :).

This is an associated type that may be used in order to specify a data-type
to pass to gem objects when construction them, allowing for drivers to more
easily initialize their private-data for gem objects.

[PATCH v3 13/14] rust: drm: gem: Add export() callback

[Lyude Paul]

This introduces an optional export() callback for GEM objects, which is
used to implement the drm_gem_object_funcs->export function.

Whoops! Usually the way that I keep track of my changelogs is by typing them
in squash! commits, and then leaving them below the patch cutline once I
squash everything. It looks like at some point I mistakenly typed V4: on one
of the squash commits instead of V3: and didn't catch it. So, that comment is
definitely for V3 - not V4 which doesn't exist yet
