This all doesn't make a lot of sense. If that's the case, Greg approved something the he keeps arguing about in the discussion of the original patch. Please see the discussion about the NULL pointer check [1]. Besides that, I really don't think it's the correct approach to just (partially) pick up a patch from the mailing list that is actively discussed and submit versions that are slightly altered in the points that are actively discussed. This really just complicates the situation and does not help getting to an agreement. > > You have the new version of the firmware patch?

However, I propose to just send a new series with just the device abstraction and this firmware patch and proceed from there.

The original patch says: "Callers must ensure that `ptr` is valid, non-null, and has a non-zero reference count for the entire duration when the returned reference exists." This is way more precise than just saying "For the duration of 'a, the pointer must point at a valid `device`.", hence we should keep the original comment. > + pub unsafe fn from_raw<'a>(ptr: *mut bindings::device) -> &'a Self { > + // CAST: `Self` is a `repr(transparent)` wrapper around `bindings::device`. > + let ptr = ptr.cast::<Self>(); > + // SAFETY: by the function requirements the pointer is valid and we have unique access for > + // the duration of `'a`. > + unsafe { &mut *ptr } Why not just + // SAFETY: Guaranteed by the safety requirements of the function. + unsafe { &*ptr.cast() } as in the original commit? > + } > + > + /// Returns the raw pointer to the device. > + pub(crate) fn as_raw(&self) -> *mut bindings::device { > + self.0.get() > + } > +} > diff --git a/rust/kernel/lib.rs b/rust/kernel/lib.rs > index fbd91a48ff8b..dd1207f1a873 100644 > --- a/rust/kernel/lib.rs > +++ b/rust/kernel/lib.rs > @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ > > pub mod alloc; > mod build_assert; > +pub mod device; > pub mod error; > pub mod init; > pub mod ioctl; > -- > 2.34.1 >
