There's a few issues with this function, mainly: * This function -probably- should have been unsafe from the start. Pointers are not always necessarily valid, but you want a function that does field-projection for a pointer that can travel outside of the original struct to be unsafe, at least if I understand properly. * *mut Self is not terribly useful in this context, the majority of uses of from_gem_obj() grab a *mut Self and then immediately convert it into a &'a Self. It also goes against the ffi conventions we've set in the rest of the kernel thus far. * from_gem_obj() also doesn't follow the naming conventions in the rest of the DRM bindings at the moment, as_ref() would be a better name.
So, let's: * Make from_gem_obj() unsafe * Convert it to return &'a Self * Rename it to as_ref() * Update all call locations Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <ly...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Almeida <daniel.alme...@collabora.com> --- V2: * Apply Danilo's comments in lookup_handle() * Add safety comment from Daniel Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <ly...@redhat.com> --- rust/kernel/drm/gem/mod.rs | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 43 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/rust/kernel/drm/gem/mod.rs b/rust/kernel/drm/gem/mod.rs index df8f9fdae5c22..1ea1f15d8313c 100644 --- a/rust/kernel/drm/gem/mod.rs +++ b/rust/kernel/drm/gem/mod.rs @@ -45,8 +45,14 @@ pub trait IntoGEMObject: Sized + super::private::Sealed { #[allow(clippy::wrong_self_convention)] fn into_gem_obj(&self) -> &Opaque<bindings::drm_gem_object>; - /// Converts a pointer to a `struct drm_gem_object` into a pointer to `Self`. - fn from_gem_obj(obj: *mut bindings::drm_gem_object) -> *mut Self; + /// Converts a pointer to a `struct drm_gem_object` into a reference to `Self`. + /// + /// # Safety + /// + /// - `self_ptr` must be a valid pointer to `Self`. + /// - The caller promises that holding the immutable reference returned by this function does + /// not violate rust's data aliasing rules and remains valid throughout the lifetime of `'a`. + unsafe fn as_ref<'a>(self_ptr: *mut bindings::drm_gem_object) -> &'a Self; } /// Trait which must be implemented by drivers using base GEM objects. @@ -63,14 +69,13 @@ extern "C" fn open_callback<T: BaseDriverObject<U>, U: BaseObject>( let file = unsafe { drm::File::<<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drm::Driver>::File>::as_ref(raw_file) }; - let obj = - <<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drm::Driver>::Object as IntoGEMObject>::from_gem_obj( - raw_obj, - ); - - // SAFETY: `from_gem_obj()` returns a valid pointer as long as the type is correct and the - // `raw_obj` we got is valid. - match T::open(unsafe { &*obj }, file) { + // SAFETY: `open_callback` is specified in the AllocOps structure for `Object<T>`, ensuring that + // `raw_obj` is indeed contained within a `Object<T>`. + let obj = unsafe { + <<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drm::Driver>::Object as IntoGEMObject>::as_ref(raw_obj) + }; + + match T::open(obj, file) { Err(e) => e.to_errno(), Ok(()) => 0, } @@ -84,14 +89,13 @@ extern "C" fn close_callback<T: BaseDriverObject<U>, U: BaseObject>( let file = unsafe { drm::File::<<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drm::Driver>::File>::as_ref(raw_file) }; - let obj = - <<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drm::Driver>::Object as IntoGEMObject>::from_gem_obj( - raw_obj, - ); - - // SAFETY: `from_gem_obj()` returns a valid pointer as long as the type is correct and the - // `raw_obj` we got is valid. - T::close(unsafe { &*obj }, file); + // SAFETY: `close_callback` is specified in the AllocOps structure for `Object<T>`, ensuring + // that `raw_obj` is indeed contained within a `Object<T>`. + let obj = unsafe { + <<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drm::Driver>::Object as IntoGEMObject>::as_ref(raw_obj) + }; + + T::close(obj, file); } impl<T: DriverObject> IntoGEMObject for Object<T> { @@ -101,9 +105,10 @@ fn into_gem_obj(&self) -> &Opaque<bindings::drm_gem_object> { &self.obj } - fn from_gem_obj(obj: *mut bindings::drm_gem_object) -> *mut Self { - // SAFETY: All of our objects are Object<T>. - unsafe { crate::container_of!(obj, Object<T>, obj).cast_mut() } + unsafe fn as_ref<'a>(self_ptr: *mut bindings::drm_gem_object) -> &'a Self { + // SAFETY: `obj` is guaranteed to be in an `Object<T>` via the safety contract of this + // function + unsafe { &*crate::container_of!(self_ptr, Object<T>, obj) } } } @@ -144,11 +149,23 @@ fn lookup_handle( ) -> Result<ARef<Self>> { // SAFETY: The arguments are all valid per the type invariants. let ptr = unsafe { bindings::drm_gem_object_lookup(file.as_raw().cast(), handle) }; - let ptr = <Self as IntoGEMObject>::from_gem_obj(ptr); - let ptr = NonNull::new(ptr).ok_or(ENOENT)?; - - // SAFETY: We take ownership of the reference of `drm_gem_object_lookup()`. - Ok(unsafe { ARef::from_raw(ptr) }) + if ptr.is_null() { + return Err(ENOENT); + } + + // SAFETY: + // - A `drm::Driver` can only have a single `File` implementation. + // - `file` uses the same `drm::Driver` as `Self`. + // - Therefore, we're guaranteed that `ptr` must be a gem object embedded within `Self`. + // - And we check if the pointer is null befoe calling as_ref(), ensuring that `ptr` is a + // valid pointer to an initialized `Self`. + let obj = unsafe { Self::as_ref(ptr) }; + + // SAFETY: + // - We take ownership of the reference of `drm_gem_object_lookup()`. + // - Our `NonNull` comes from an immutable reference, thus ensuring it is a valid pointer to + // `Self`. + Ok(unsafe { ARef::from_raw(obj.into()) }) } /// Creates an mmap offset to map the object from userspace. -- 2.49.0
