[PATCH v5 1/5] rust: sync: move lockdep types to rust/kernel/sync/lockdep.rs

Alice Ryhl <[email protected]> Mon, 03 Aug 2026 07:29:52 +0000
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.rust-for-linux,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
The lockdep types are currently stored directly in rust/kernel/sync.rs,
but there are starting to be too many of them to keep them in that file.
Thus, move them to a submodule. The new module is listed under LOCKING
PRIMITIVES in the MAINTAINERS file.

For commonly used lockdep logic it's useful to keep re-exports in
kernel::sync, and this also avoids the need to update any users.
