Subject: [PATCH net-next] rust: netlink: remove unnecessary bitfield transmutes
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 03:33:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102023301.206989-3-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
Use __BindgenBitfieldUnit::new() to build the bitfield.
Since the generated type implements PartialEq, compare the bitfields
directly in test_family_flags_bitfield().
Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <blum@kernel.org>
---
test_family_flags_bitfield() still passes.
