Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

driver core: make struct class.dev_uevent() take a const *

2022-11-24T16:12:15+00:00

The dev_uevent() in struct class should not be modifying the device that
is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function
signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use this
callback.

kobject: make kobject_get_ownership() take a constant kobject *

2022-11-22T16:34:29+00:00

The call, kobject_get_ownership(), does not modify the kobject passed
into it, so make it const.  This propagates down into the kobj_type
function callbacks so make the kobject passed into them also const,
ensuring that nothing in the kobject is being changed here.

This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not,
modify structures passed to them.

driver core: class: make namespace and get_ownership take const *

2022-11-09T14:49:32+00:00

The callbacks in struct class namespace() and get_ownership() do not
modify the struct device passed to them, so mark the pointer as constant
and fix up all callbacks in the kernel to have the correct function
signature.

This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not,
modify structures passed to them.

net: fix data-race in dev_isalive()

2022-06-17T09:59:31+00:00

dev_isalive() is called under RTNL or dev_base_lock protection.

This means that changes to dev->reg_state should be done with both locks held.

net: rename reference+tracking helpers

2022-06-10T04:52:55+00:00

Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic
reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn
but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively
recent and should be the default for new code.

Rename:
 dev_hold_track()    -> netdev_hold()
 dev_put_track()     -> netdev_put()
 dev_replace_track() -> netdev_ref_replace()

net: wrap the wireless pointers in struct net_device in an ifdef

2022-05-22T20:51:54+00:00

Most protocol-specific pointers in struct net_device are under
a respective ifdef. Wireless is the notable exception. Since
there's a sizable number of custom-built kernels for datacenter
workloads which don't build wireless it seems reasonable to
ifdefy those pointers as well.

While at it move IPv4 and IPv6 pointers up, those are special
for obvious reasons.
