From 2a3d15f270efa50d78d8a32d895e9d5396668f3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Gunthorpe Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2021 16:40:26 -0300 Subject: vfio/mdev: Add missing typesafety around mdev_device The mdev API should accept and pass a 'struct mdev_device *' in all places, not pass a 'struct device *' and cast it internally with to_mdev_device(). Particularly in its struct mdev_driver functions, the whole point of a bus's struct device_driver wrapper is to provide type safety compared to the default struct device_driver. Further, the driver core standard is for bus drivers to expose their device structure in their public headers that can be used with container_of() inlines and '&foo->dev' to go between the class levels, and '&foo->dev' to be used with dev_err/etc driver core helper functions. Move 'struct mdev_device' to mdev.h Once done this allows moving some one instruction exported functions to static inlines, which in turns allows removing one of the two grotesque symbol_get()'s related to mdev in the core code.
