Hi Danilo, As discussed with Miguel, I'm sending my PR to you this time. The code changes themselves aren't that big, but functionality-wise there are three important ones: pin-projections, code blocks and access to previously initialized fields. More syntax changes will be on the way for v6.19 and I hope I'll be a bit earlier in that cycle :) The commits have been in linux-next for one day. I have a conflict with your devres fix that's in -rc3, the resolution in linux-next looks good. Please pull for v6.18 -- thanks! --- Cheers, Benno The following changes since commit 8f5ae30d69d7543eee0d70083daf4de8fe15d585: Linux 6.17-rc1 (2025-08-10 19:41:16 +0300) are available in the Git repository at: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux.git tags/pin-init-v6.18 for you to fetch changes up to 42415d163e5df6db799c7de6262d707e402c2c7e: rust: pin-init: add references to previously initialized fields (2025-09-11 23:30:02 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- pin-init changes for v6.18 Changed: - `#[pin_data]` now generates a `*Projection` struct similar to the `pin-project` crate. - Add initializer code blocks to `[try_][pin_]init!` macros: make initializer macros accept any number of `_: {/* arbitrary code */},` & make them run the code at that point. - Make the `[try_][pin_]init!` macros expose initialized fields via a `let` binding as `&mut T` or `Pin<&mut T>` for later fields. Upstream dev news: - Released v0.0.10 before the changes included in this tag. - Inform users of the impending rename from `pinned-init` to `pin-init` (in the kernel the rename already happened). - More CI improvements. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Benno Lossin (6): rust: pin-init: examples: error: use `Error` in `fn main()` rust: pin-init: README: add information banner on the rename to `pin-init` rust: pin-init: rename `project` -> `project_this` in doctest rust: pin-init: add pin projections to `#[pin_data]` rust: pin-init: add code blocks to `[try_][pin_]init!` macros rust: pin-init: add references to previously initialized fields rust/kernel/devres.rs | 6 +- rust/kernel/workqueue.rs | 9 +- rust/pin-init/README.md | 12 ++ rust/pin-init/examples/error.rs | 4 +- rust/pin-init/src/lib.rs | 4 +- rust/pin-init/src/macros.rs | 239 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ samples/rust/rust_driver_pci.rs | 2 +- 7 files changed, 227 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-)
