Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: drm: gpuvm: implement Send and Sync for GpuVaAlloc and GpuVmBo
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 15:09:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608150929.1327394-2-samitolvanen@google.com> (raw)
Moving a GpuVaAlloc or GpuVmBo between threads currently forces drivers
to write their own unsafe Send and Sync impls. Provide the markers in
the abstraction instead.
GpuVaAlloc wraps only uninitialised memory and exposes none of it, so it
is unconditionally Send and Sync. GpuVmBo is an atomically refcounted
handle whose accessors hand out the driver data and GEM object by shared
reference and whose deferred put drops them, so its Send and Sync impls
are bounded on T::VmBoData and T::Object.
Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>

Changes in v2:
- Added a missing T::Object: Send + Sync bound pointed out by Sashiko.
