Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] rust: drm: Add RegistrationData to drm::Driver
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2026 03:15:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603011711.2077361-4-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603011711.2077361-1-dakr@kernel.org>

Add a RegistrationData associated type to drm::Driver. This is a ForLt
type whose lifetime is tied to the parent bus device binding scope.

Registration<'a, T> takes ownership of the data via Pin<KBox<_>>,
storing it with its real lifetime. The pointer is written to drm::Device
before drm_dev_register() to ensure it is already in place when ioctls
arrive.

UnbindGuard::registration_data_with() provides access with the lifetime
shortened from 'static via ForLt::cast_ref_unchecked. Since
Registration::drop() calls drm_dev_unplug(), which performs an SRCU
barrier waiting for all drm_dev_enter() critical sections to complete,
the data is guaranteed to remain valid for the duration of any
UnbindGuard.
