[RFC 0/5] locking: Start watching Rust locking primitives

[RFC 0/5] locking: Start watching Rust locking primitives

[Boqun Feng]

Hi Ingo, Peter & Miguel,

I want to propose two things in this RFC:

* Add Rust locking related files into the watch of LOCKING PRIMITIVES
  maintainers.

* I will handle most of the Rust locking patches as what I already do
  for lockdep patches (i.e sending a PR to Peter at around -rc4, so he
  could put it in for the next merge window)

Patch #1 is the related changes in MAINTAINERS and the rest is part of
the patches what would make into a future PR if the above proposals
make sense to you.

Let me know how you guys think about this, thanks!

Regards,
Boqun

[RFC 1/5] locking: MAINTAINERS: Start watching Rust locking primitives

[Boqun Feng]

It makes sense to add Rust locking primitives under the watch of general
locking primitives maintainers. This will encourage more reviews and
find potential issues earlier. Hence add related Rust files into the
LOCKING PRIMITIVES entry in MAINTAINERS.

While we are at it, change the role of myself into the maintainer of
LOCKDEP and RUST to reflect my responsibility for the corresponding
code.

[RFC 2/5] rust: sync: Add Lock::from_raw() for Lock<(), B>

[Boqun Feng]

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>

The KMS bindings [1] have a few bindings that require manually acquiring
specific locks before calling certain functions. At the moment though,
the only way of acquiring these locks in bindings is to simply call the
C locking functions directly - since said locks are not initialized on
the Rust side of things.

However - if we add `#[repr(C)]` to `Lock<(), B>`, then given `()` is a
ZST - `Lock<(), B>` becomes equivalent in data layout to its inner
`B::State` type. Since locks in C don't have data explicitly associated
with them anyway, we can take advantage of this to add a
`Lock::from_raw()` function that can translate a raw pointer to
`B::State` into its proper `Lock<(), B>` equivalent. This lets us simply
acquire a reference to the lock in question and work with it like it was
initialized on the Rust side of things, allowing us to use less unsafe
code to implement bindings with lock requirements.

[RFC 3/5] rust: sync: Make Guard::new() public

[Boqun Feng]

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>

Since we added a `Lock::from_raw()` function previously, it makes sense
to also introduce an interface for creating a `Guard` from a reference
to a `Lock` for instances where we've derived the `Lock` from a raw
pointer and know that the lock is already acquired, there are such
usages in KMS API.

BTW - this is totally up to you of course but if you ever decide you need

Thanks! Yes, it'll be great to have more people watching this. And thank
you for the review and contribution so far, nice job!

I'm currently waiting for both lock maintainers and Rust maintainers
opinions on the particular changes on the MAINTAINERS file (for example,
maybe they want something similar to "RUST [ALLOC]" entry, i.e. a
standalone entry). My plan is to send the PR after everyone is on the
same page. And you're welcome to send a patch adding yourself in the
entry afterwards.

Up to you! :)

I guess it depends on whether the rest of the locking maintainers want
to see every patch related to that (which would be great) or not,
whether you want to have finer-grained control on who gets pinged,
potentially different "M:" level and so on. For instance, it would
allow you to have an explicit "L:" for the Rust for Linux list.

By the way, as a third alternative, you could also consider a
sub-entry in locking, too, i.e. "LOCKING PRIMITIVES [RUST]" as a
middle ground, which would allow you to keep routing patches through
locking but have the benefits of a sub-entry if you need them.

Whatever you decide:

This seems fine with me; thanks for taking that up Boqun. I'm assuming
this whole series is aimed at the rust tree, in which case:

Thanks! Actually I'm planning to combine this series into my upcoming PR
to tip, the PR candidate is something like:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/boqun/linux.git/log/?h=lockdep-for-tip

(I still need a few days to catch up with other locking patches, so
probably after -rc3)

Would this (targeting tip/locking/core) work for you?

Boqun

I will keep it as it is because I do want more reviews on Rust locking
parts from the current locking maintainers ;-). We can always change
this in the future.
