Subject: [PATCH] rust: kernel: use strict provenance APIs
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 19:19:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522-strict-provenance-redux-v1-1-0880b65fc17c@kernel.org> (raw)
Replace existing pointer-to-integer and integer-to-pointer conversions
with calls to the strict provenance APIs.
The strict provenance APIs were stabilized in Rust 1.84.0 [1]. Since
commit f32fb9c58a5b ("rust: bump Rust minimum supported version to
1.85.0 (Debian Trixie)"), the minimum supported Rust version is 1.85.0,
so no polyfills are needed.
Link: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/01/09/Rust-1.84.0.html#strict-provenance-apis [1]
Suggested-by: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me>
