rust: list: Add unsafe blocks for container_of and safety comments
impl_list_item_mod.rs calls container_of! without unsafe blocks at a couple of places. Since container_of! is unsafe, the blocks are strictly necessary. The problem was so far not visible because the "unsafe-op-in-unsafe-fn" check is a lint rather than a hard compiler error, and Rust suppresses lints triggered inside of a macro from another crate. Thus, the error becomes only visible once someone from within the kernel crate tries to use linked lists: error[E0133]: call to unsafe function `core::ptr::mut_ptr::<impl *mut T>::byte_sub` is unsafe and requires unsafe block --> rust/kernel/lib.rs:252:29 | 252 | let container_ptr = field_ptr.byte_sub(offset).cast::<$Container>(); | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ call to unsafe function | ::: rust/kernel/drm/jq.rs:98:1 | 98 | / impl_list_item! { 99 | | impl ListItem<0> for BasicItem { using ListLinks { self.links }; } 100 | | } | |_- in this macro invocation | note: an unsafe function restricts its caller, but its body is safe by default --> rust/kernel/list/impl_list_item_mod.rs:216:13 | 216 | unsafe fn view_value(me: *mut $crate::list::ListLinks<$num>) -> *const Self { | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ::: rust/kernel/drm/jq.rs:98:1 | 98 | / impl_list_item! { 99 | | impl ListItem<0> for BasicItem { using ListLinks { self.links }; } 100 | | } | |_- in this macro invocation = note: requested on the command line with `-D unsafe-op-in-unsafe-fn` = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::container_of` which comes from the expansion of the macro `impl_list_item` Therefore, add unsafe blocks to container_of! calls to fix the issue. [ As discussed, let's fix the build for those that want to use the macro within the `kernel` crate now and we can discuss the proper safety comments afterwards. Thus I removed the ones from the patch. However, we cannot just avoid the comments with `CLIPPY=1`, so I provided placeholders for now, like we did in the past. They were also needed for an `unsafe impl`. While I am not happy about it, it isn't worse than the current status (the comments were meant to be there), and at least this shows what is missing -- our pre-existing "good first issue" [1] may motivate new contributors to complete them properly. Finally, I moved one of the existing safety comments one line down so that Clippy could locate it.
