<title>rust: driver: drop device private data post unbind</title>

<id>a995fe1a3aa78b7d06cc1cc7b6b8436c5e93b07f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the driver's device private data is allocated and initialized
from driver core code called from bus abstractions after the driver's
probe() callback returned the corresponding initializer.

Similarly, the driver's device private data is dropped within the
remove() callback of bus abstractions after calling the remove()
callback of the corresponding driver.

However, commit 6f61a2637abe ("rust: device: introduce
Device::drvdata()") introduced an accessor for the driver's device
private data for a Device&lt;Bound&gt;, i.e. a device that is currently bound
to a driver.

Obviously, this is in conflict with dropping the driver's device private
data in remove(), since a device can not be considered to be fully
unbound after remove() has finished:

We also have to consider registrations guarded by devres - such as IRQ
or class device registrations - which are torn down after remove() in
devres_release_all().

Thus, it can happen that, for instance, a class device or IRQ callback
still calls Device::drvdata(), which then runs concurrently to remove()
(which sets dev-&gt;driver_data to NULL and drops the driver's device
private data), before devres_release_all() started to tear down the
corresponding registration. This is because devres guarded registrations
can, as expected, access the corresponding Device&lt;Bound&gt; that defines
their scope.

In C it simply is the driver's responsibility to ensure that its device
private data is freed after e.g. an IRQ registration is unregistered.

Typically, C drivers achieve this by allocating their device private data
with e.g. devm_kzalloc() before doing anything else, i.e. before e.g.
registering an IRQ with devm_request_threaded_irq(), relying on the
reverse order cleanup of devres.

Technically, we could do something similar in Rust. However, the
resulting code would be pretty messy:

In Rust we have to differentiate between allocated but uninitialized
memory and initialized memory in the type system. Thus, we would need to
somehow keep track of whether the driver's device private data object
has been initialized (i.e. probe() was successful and returned a valid
initializer for this memory) and conditionally call the destructor of
the corresponding object when it is freed.

This is because we'd need to allocate and register the memory of the
driver's device private data *before* it is initialized by the
initializer returned by the driver's probe() callback, because the
driver could already register devres guarded registrations within
probe() outside of the driver's device private data initializer.

Luckily there is a much simpler solution: Instead of dropping the
driver's device private data at the end of remove(), we just drop it
after the device has been fully unbound, i.e. after all devres callbacks
have been processed.

For this, we introduce a new post_unbind() callback private to the
driver-core, i.e. the callback is neither exposed to drivers, nor to bus
abstractions.

This way, the driver-core code can simply continue to conditionally
allocate the memory for the driver's device private data when the
driver's initializer is returned from probe() - no change needed - and
drop it when the driver-core code receives the post_unbind() callback.

In a first step, this replaces the associated type RegType of the

Currently request_irq_by_index() returns

which may carry an error in the Result or the initializer; the same is
true for the other IRQ methods.

Use pin_init::pin_init_scope() to get rid of this redundancy.

Currently request_irq_by_index() returns

        Result&lt;impl PinInit&lt;irq::Registration&lt;T&gt;, Error&gt; + 'a&gt;

which may carry an error in the Result or the initializer; the same is
true for the other IRQ methods.

Use pin_init::pin_init_scope() to get rid of this redundancy.
