Subject: [PATCH v5 02/24] rust: alloc: remove `'static` bound on `ForeignOwnable`
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 22:20:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525202921.124698-3-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525202921.124698-1-dakr@kernel.org>
From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
The `'static` bound is currently necessary because there's no
restriction on the lifetime of the GAT. Add a `Self: 'a` bound to
restrict possible lifetimes on `Borrowed` and `BorrowedMut`, and lift
the `'static` requirement.
