Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] rust: miscdevice: Provide additional abstractions for iov_iter and kiocb structures
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 08:27:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813-iov-iter-v4-3-c4f1932b05ef@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250813-iov-iter-v4-0-c4f1932b05ef@google.com>

These will be used for the read_iter() and write_iter() callbacks, which
are now the preferred back-ends for when a user operates on a char device
with read() and write() respectively.
