Linux kernel stable tree https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/atom?h=master 2026-08-14T22:21:17+00:00 2026-08-14T22:21:17+00:00 Zhi Wang zhiw@nvidia.com 2026-08-13T15:23:12+00:00 urn:sha1:e052daab94ee8c4081c91de3549772bd1c235729 Introduce safe Rust wrappers around struct fwctl_device and struct fwctl_uctx. This lets Rust drivers register fwctl devices and implement firmware RPC callbacks through a typed trait interface. The abstraction keeps lifetime and reference-count handling inside the wrapper, exposes pinned per-FD user contexts to drivers, and validates the layout assumptions required by the C fwctl allocation model. Allocation sizes are padded so the kmalloc-backed C allocations also satisfy Rust alignment requirements. Registration owns driver private data with a lifetime tied to the bound parent device and verifies the parent identity before registration. Callbacks access that data through a higher-ranked closure, preventing its erased lifetime from escaping, while Device remains only the refcounted fwctl object. This avoids requiring Rust drop glue from the fwctl_device release path after unregister or module teardown. RPC callbacks receive typed scope information, a mutable request/response buffer, and the userspace output-buffer size. Response pointer conversion, length validation, and raw output-length handling remain inside the abstraction. Add the Rust sources to the FWCTL MAINTAINERS entry and add myself as the maintainer for the Rust abstractions.
