Subject: [PATCH v5 17/19] rust: drm: Add RegistrationData to drm::Driver
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 16:53:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260628145406.2107056-18-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260628145406.2107056-1-dakr@kernel.org>
Add a RegistrationData GAT (Generic Associated Type) to drm::Driver.
The lifetime parameter 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.
Device<T, Registered>::registration_data_with() provides access with the
lifetime shortened from 'static via a pointer cast. 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
RegistrationGuard.
