[PATCH v8 1/1] rust: introduce abstractions for fwctl

Zhi Wang <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.rust-for-linux,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
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.
