Currently we have `PinInit::__pinned_init` and `Init::__init` which has slightly different safety requirement but are required to do the same thing. Instead of having to duplicate impl everywhere, it's simpler to just use `Init` as a marker trait that cancels out the pinning requirement on `PinInit::__pinned_init`. This also simplifies code (and shorten the symbol name) so `__init` can always be used. However, there are multiple users currently using `__pinned_init`. This is not designed to be public API; however `pin_init` failed to provide a public API alternative so it is still being used. Add `ptr_init` and `ptr_try_init` methods and convert users to use them instead. `__init` users can use these as well due to the super-trait relationship. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <[email protected]> --- Changes in v2: - Add a public API for `__init` and convert users. - Remove the part about multiple cycles. Danilo suggests me to take the entirety in single cycle as this doesn't conflict with other branches. - Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected] --- Gary Guo (5): rust: pin-init: examples: use `Wrapper::pin_init` instead of manual reimplementation rust: pin-init: merge `__pinned_init` and `__init` rust: pin-init: add `ptr_init` and `ptr_try_init` and recommend over `__init` rust: treewide: replace `__pinned_init` with `ptr_[try_]init` rust: pin-init: remove `__pinned_init` method for `cfg(kernel)` drivers/gpu/nova-core/gsp/cmdq.rs | 4 +- rust/kernel/alloc/kbox.rs | 8 +- rust/kernel/dma.rs | 10 +- rust/kernel/drm/device.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/drm/gpuvm/va.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/drm/gpuvm/vm_bo.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/init.rs | 6 +- rust/kernel/pwm.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/sync/arc.rs | 8 +- rust/kernel/types.rs | 8 +- rust/macros/module.rs | 2 +- rust/pin-init/examples/mutex.rs | 6 +- rust/pin-init/examples/static_init.rs | 10 +- rust/pin-init/src/__internal.rs | 8 +- rust/pin-init/src/alloc.rs | 6 +- rust/pin-init/src/lib.rs | 177 +++++++++++++++++----------------- 16 files changed, 128 insertions(+), 133 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 6d0795b507fb1db2e6aefe533d949db3a4abf4c6 change-id: 20260722-merge-init-3ed98519ec7f Best regards, -- Gary Guo <[email protected]>
