rust: io: always inline functions using build_assert with arguments

2026-01-30T09:32:26+00:00

commit 33d19f621641de1b6ec6fe1bb2ac68a7d2c61f6a upstream.

`build_assert` relies on the compiler to optimize out its error path.
Functions using it with its arguments must thus always be inlined,
otherwise the error path of `build_assert` might not be optimized out,
triggering a build error.

rust: io: add typedef for phys_addr_t

2026-01-02T11:57:05+00:00

commit dd6ff5cf56fb183fce605ca6a5bfce228cd8888b upstream.

The C typedef phys_addr_t is missing an analogue in Rust, meaning that
we end up using bindings::phys_addr_t or ResourceSize as a replacement
in various places throughout the kernel. Fix that by introducing a new
typedef on the Rust side. Place it next to the existing ResourceSize
typedef since they're quite related to each other.

rust: io: move ResourceSize to top-level io module

2026-01-02T11:57:05+00:00

commit dfd67993044f507ba8fd6ee9956f923ba4b7e851 upstream.

Resource sizes are a general concept for dealing with physical
addresses, and not specific to the Resource type, which is just one way
to access physical addresses. Thus, move the typedef to the io module.

Still keep a re-export under resource. This avoids this commit from
being a flag-day, but I also think it's a useful re-export in general so
that you can import

	use kernel::io::resource::{Resource, ResourceSize};

instead of having to write

	use kernel::io::{
	    resource::Resource,
	    ResourceSize,
	};

in the specific cases where you need ResourceSize because you are using
the Resource type. Therefore I think it makes sense to keep this
re-export indefinitely and it is *not* intended as a temporary re-export
for migration purposes.

rust: Add read_poll_timeout function

2025-08-21T19:09:48+00:00

Add read_poll_timeout function which polls periodically until a
condition is met, an error occurs, or the timeout is reached.

The C's read_poll_timeout (include/linux/iopoll.h) is a complicated
macro and a simple wrapper for Rust doesn't work. So this implements
the same functionality in Rust.

The C version uses usleep_range() while the Rust version uses
fsleep(), which uses the best sleep method so it works with spans that
usleep_range() doesn't work nicely with.

The sleep_before_read argument isn't supported since there is no user
for now. It's rarely used in the C version.

Merge tag 'rust-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux

2025-08-03T20:49:10+00:00

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
     'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
     'ref_as_ptr'

     These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
     which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
     powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes

   - Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
     plural one in the previous cycle

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
     'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
     kernel parameters:

         warn_on!(value == 42);

     To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
     followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
     assembly between both C and Rust

     This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
     existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
     functional change expected there

   - 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
     'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
     'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:

         /// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
         /// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
         fn print_later(value: Arc) {
             let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
         }

   - New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
     with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:

         static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
         static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));

         assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());

   - 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
     reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'

     Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
     to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
     them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
     it to the prelude, too

   - Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
     with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
     take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
     it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
     some other cleanups

     Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
     and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances

   - 'dma' module:

      - Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature

      - Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'

      - Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'

      - Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add
        the corresponding type invariants

      - Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'

   - 'time' module:

      - Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
        compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
        'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source

      - Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
        take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
        depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
        check the type matches the timer mode

      - Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
        function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
        on the requested sleep time

      - Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
        timestamps

      - Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
        'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types

      - Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'

   - 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
     pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
     'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
     simplifications too

   - 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
     constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
     require 'into_foreign' to return non-null

     Remove the 'Either' type as well. It is unused, and we want
     to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases

   - 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
     to allow them to be used in generic APIs

   - 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box';
     and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec'

   - 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
     that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
     'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it

   - 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method

   - 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
     'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
     we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
     in 'static_lock_class'

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Add 'impl [Pin]Init for Result', so results are
     now (pin-)initializers

   - Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'

   - New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
     it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'

   - Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
     'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for
     '"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments

   - Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl
     [Pin]Init for T' to 'impl [Pin]Init for T'

   - Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'

   - Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
     '--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two
     '-next' branches in upstream and the kernel

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add Vlastimil Babka, Liam R. Howlett, Uladzislau Rezki and Lorenzo
     Stoakes as reviewers (thanks everyone)

rust: io: mem: add a generic iomem abstraction

2025-07-20T17:43:14+00:00

Add a generic iomem abstraction to safely read and write ioremapped
regions. This abstraction requires a previously acquired IoRequest
instance. This makes it so that both the resource and the device match,
or, in other words, that the resource is indeed a valid resource for a
given bound device.

A subsequent patch will add the ability to retrieve IoRequest instances
from platform devices.

The reads and writes are done through IoRaw, and are thus checked either
at compile-time, if the size of the region is known at that point, or at
runtime otherwise.

Non-exclusive access to the underlying memory region is made possible to
cater to cases where overlapped regions are unavoidable.

rust: io: add resource abstraction

2025-07-20T17:43:04+00:00

In preparation for ioremap support, add a Rust abstraction for struct
resource.

A future commit will introduce the Rust API to ioremap a resource from a
platform device. The current abstraction, therefore, adds only the
minimum API needed to get that done.

rust: enable `clippy::as_underscore` lint

2025-06-22T21:09:17+00:00

In Rust 1.63.0, Clippy introduced the `as_underscore` lint [1]:

> The conversion might include lossy conversion or a dangerous cast that
> might go undetected due to the type being inferred.
>
> The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always
> specifying the type.

Always specifying the type is especially helpful in function call
contexts where the inferred type may change at a distance. Specifying
the type also allows Clippy to spot more cases of `useless_conversion`.

The primary downside is the need to specify the type in trivial getters.
There are 4 such functions: 3 have become slightly less ergonomic, 1 was
revealed to be a `useless_conversion`.

While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize.  It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
