Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: kernel: fix lifetime of copy_from_iter_raw
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 15:21:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114132156.49243-1-marawanzein222@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CANiq72mnB8cMmaMWaC-7pJj29JqqumBOSygnM9zA+8eHikm1Kg@mail.gmail.com>
The returned slice is derived from `out`, but lifetime elision
ties it to `self` because this is a method. Explicitly bind the
return lifetime to `out` so the returned slice cannot outlive
its backing buffer.
Fixes: 06cb58b310ea ("rust: iov: add iov_iter abstractions for ITER_SOURCE")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Reported-by: spidermana <xuyiwen14@gmail.com>
Closes: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1265
