driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

ipack: make ipack_bus_type const

2024-03-07T20:32:47+00:00

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the ipack_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2023-02-24T20:58:55+00:00

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1.

  There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work
  falls into two different categories:

   - fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
     cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
     Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
     watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.

   - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be
     moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust
     has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
     passing around and working with structures that really do not have
     to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only
     making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work
     (started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct
     bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release,
     but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after
     this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.

  Other than that we have in here:

   - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems

   - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
     codepaths.

   - cacheinfo rework and fixes

   - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

  that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ]

driver core: make struct bus_type.uevent() take a const *

2023-01-27T12:45:52+00:00

The uevent() callback in struct bus_type should not be modifying the
device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the
function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use
this callback.
