Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] gpu: nova-core: use CStr::from_bytes_until_nul() and remove util.rs
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 19:52:25 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106035226.48853-2-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106035226.48853-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
The util.rs module contained a single helper function,
str_from_null_terminated(), which duplicated functionality that is now
available in core::ffi::CStr.
Specifically, CStr::from_bytes_until_nul() is available in the kernel's
minimum supported Rust version (1.78.0), so it time to stop using this
custom workaround.
