Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
"container_of:
- Apply typeof_member(), remove the local __mptr variable to
eliminate variable shadowing warnings on nested container_of()
calls, and remove unnecessary parentheses
core:
- Add driver name to probe debug print for initcall_debug
- Avoid repeatedly printing the same 'Fixed dependency cycle' log
- Unwind device_add() on attribute creation failure in
attribute_container_add_class_device()
- Remove statistics group if encryption group creation fails in
transport_add_class_device()
debugfs:
- Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare()
- Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs
device property:
- Implement fw_devlink support for software nodes by adding
software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage
- Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the
secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases
- Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when
called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)
- Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()
- Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer
firmware loader:
- Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
request
- Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
kobject:
- Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
to reside in read-only memory
platform:
- Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
devices
Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
nodes
- Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter
API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add
KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device
unregistration
Rust:
- Auxiliary:
- Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant
ForLt types
- Debugfs:
- Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements
from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits
- Device:
- Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait
for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound
device.
- Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent
coercion to shorter lifetimes
- Devres:
- Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker
could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the
inner data, causing use-after-free.
- Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes
unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional.
- Add DevresLt<F: ForLt>, a wrapper around Devres that shortens
'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and
CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem
- Driver:
- Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup,
storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID
handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF
matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs
- I/O:
- Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type
for the existing untyped case), create view types representing
subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for
safely creating subviews.
- Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io)
with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from
overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on.
- Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile
access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type.
Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying
methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for
typed access.
- Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!()
for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old
macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection.
- Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro,
remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias
destinations
- IRQ:
- Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers
by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and
replacing Devres<RegistrationInner> with direct
request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own
lifetime-bound device resources
- PCI:
- Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning
type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation
lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the
conversion infallible. Remove the redundant
request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device.
- Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on
IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX,
PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX.
- Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline
- Serdev:
- Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including
serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct
serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing
RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes
over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code
- Misc:
- Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of<'a> GAT) and an
unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance,
enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex<&'bound T>)
to participate in the ForLt abstraction.
- Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero.
- Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef
misc:
- Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using
kernfs_iattrs_noalloc().
- Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure.
- Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol.
- Fix /sys/module path in comment.
- Refactor ISA bus init to remove nested blocks.
- Remove redundant nodemask clears in numa_init().
- Add kernel-doc for fwnode_operations and sys_soc.h, mark
internal property data as private for kernel-doc, and add
property.h/fwnode.h to driver-api infrastructure docs.
- Add MAINTAINERS entry for sys_soc.h"
