2026-10-12rust: pin-init: internal: suppress `explicit_outlives_requirements`Gary Guo
`#[pin_data]` inserts outlive bounds between lifetimes to allow closure callbacks to rely on their relationship. In some cases, these relations are implied by fields, and Rust generates `explicit_outlives_requirements` allow-by-default lint, which is turned out by kernel as part of rust-2018-idioms lint group. As `#[pin_data]` is a proc macro and it cannot know if the bounds are already implied, suppress such lints for generated code.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: support existential lifetimesGary Guo
There are many cases where structs that have interior mutability, but they do not need the invariance over captured lifetimes as the lifetime is captured upon construction, and new data of that particular lifetime does not flow back into the struct. For these use cases, the same mechanism as pin-init self-reference may be used. Add support for existential lifetimes, introduced by having where clauses such as exists<'a>: 'b The lifetime `'a` above is minted similar to field lifetimes. Because `'a` is an erased lifetime living longer than `'b`, the only variance requirement that we have is that `'b` cannot be contravariant; that defense is fulfilled by adding `PhantomData<&'b ()>` so the struct is either covariant or invariant over `'b`.

Non-covariant types can already be accessed inside projections. As projections are only generated for `Pin<&mut T>`, they're not accessible otherwise. Add `with_{field_name}` methods so fields can be accessed using closures with just `&T`.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: make field lifetime invariance imply ↵Gary Guo
type invariance If invariant field captures a field lifetime, then we also need to make sure that field is also invariant. Imagine this struct: #[pin_data] struct SelfRef<'a> { #[uses('outer: invariant)] part: Mutex<&'outer str>, outer: &'a String, } fn new<'a>(str: &'a String) -> impl PinInit<SelfRef<'a>, Infallible> { pin_init!(SelfRef { outer: str, part: Mutex::new(*outer), }) } If we make this struct covariant over `'a`, then we can have the following case: let mut long = "hello world".to_owned(); let s = Box::pin_init(new(&long)).unwrap(); { let mut short = "hello world".to_owned(); // If `s` is covariant, this would be okay, because we shorten from // `SelfRef<'long>` to `SelfRef<'short>`. s.with_project_ref(|p| { *p.part.lock().unwrap() = &short; }); } Conceptually, a field's type must outlive the field's lifetime, so if we have a covariant `'a`, we can have a shortened `SelfRef<'short_a>` where `'outer` outlives `'short_a`. But the wellformedness requirement of the field will imply `'short_a: 'outer`, which enables the `&'short_a` to `'outer` coercion, effectively making the field lifetime `'f` behave covariantly, too, breaking the requirement that it is invariant. Therefore, compute an invariant closure and use an additional generics on `Borrowed` to allow capturing things invariantly. Note that we do capture all parameters explicitly rather than capture the field type invariantly, because if type aliases are involved, we might be syntactically determining that the field uses a type parameter but actually not, causing the invariance enforcement to be missed. Outlive bounds between field lifetimes can also cause the same issue (an invariant field lifetime cannot be a lower bound of a covariant field lifetime). Since we cannot deduce whether any implied bounds from type wellformness would create such outlive relationships, prevent such bounds from happening by using a split outlive chain. Note that this is not a soundness hole in itself in absence of `with_project_ref`, because with single field accessors only, the field lifetimes of the fields are not connected; in methods like `with_project` lifetimes are invariant so shortening cannot happen. However, such method is likely desirable, so include the variance rule before it has been heavily relied upon.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: parse explicit `#[uses]` annotationGary Guo
Add support for explicit self-referential annotations. `#[uses]` attribute is used to mark what other field lifetimes are captured by this field, and also the variance of the type in respect to the field lifetimes. For example, #[uses('a: covariant, 'b: invariant)] indicates that the field captures the field lifetime `'a` covariantly, and field lifetime `'b` invariantly. Many types are covariant, so this is the default variance if the variance is omitted (e.g. `#[uses('a)]`), consistent with the automatically inferred borrow.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: add `with_project` methodGary Guo
The `project` method needs to perform covariant coercion on covariant fields, causing them to no longer being mutable. Implement a `with_project` that does not require covariant coercion by using higher-ranked trait bounds, thus allow the fields to be assignable inside the callback. This mechanism can also be used to access non-covariant fields.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: project self-referential fieldsGary Guo
This adds the projection for fields that are shared borrowed or that borrows other fields but is covariant. Both cases allow a shared reference to be accessed. No mutable references can be created for these cases for different reasons: * For fields that are shared borrowed, aliasing restriction prevents creation of mutable reference * For fields that borrow other fields, their proper type contains field lifetimes. These lifetimes cannot be made available in the returned `project` struct (because there is no way to represent existential lifetime in return position). For covariant types, it is possible to shorten these lifetimes to that of `&self`; but doing so requires the reference to also be covariant over the pointee type, so we cannot give out `&mut` as it is invariant over the pointee. Due to field-referencing fields being wrapped inside `Erase`, the normal accessor syntax stop working; create accessor methods for these fields instead.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: implement initialization of borrowed structsGary Guo
We now have the checks to ensure that lifetime relations are what is expected, we can generate the slot projections in `generate_pin_data` so self-referential struct can be implemented. New slot and guard types are defined (`SelfRefSlot` and `SelfRefDropGuard`) which gives the generated let bindings longer lifetime than the guard themselves. Have `__make_closure` take `data` back as an argument. This gives `#[pin_data]` an opportunity to change the type to add lifetimes. Higher-ranked trait bound on `__make_closure` is used to ensure that the initialization closure cannot make arbitrary assumptions of those lifetimes.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: self-referential drop order checksGary Guo
Check drop order to ensure that usage of lifetime inside self-referential struct is consistent with the order that the fields will dropped in drop glue. First, fields are checked according to their index to ensure that if `a` borrows from `b`, `b` must outlive `a`. This is simple and produces a very good diagnostic when misused. Lifetime bounds can also be indirectly crafted with implied bounds that make fields well-formed. For example, in this struct struct Foo { x: &'b &'a (), a: String, y: PrintOnDrop<&'b str>, b: String, } `&'b &'a ()` will imply that `a` outlive `b`, which is inconsistent with the actual drop order. For this case, create a `__drop_order_check` function with field lifetimes and outlive relationship of them as generic parameter, and ask Rust to prove that the types are well-formed inside the generated function, to ensure that the bad implied bounds cannot happen. The `__drop_order_check` also need to correlate lifetimes or types captured by generics and the field lifetimes. Do this by inserting outlive bounds when a field mentions a specific type or lifetime parameter.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: pin borrowed fields with wrapperGary Guo
For fields that are borrowed, a mutable reference to the struct no longer mean that it has the permission to access these fields. Therefore, the memory that they refer to must be pinned. Wrap these fields inside a `Borrowed` struct which pins it. They may be accessed directly (if they're not themselves referencing other struct fields), so implement a `Deref`. As such fields are always pinned, there is no need to generate a conditional `Unpin` implementations that implements `Unpin` when all fields are. Simply generate a never satisfiable `Unpin` implementation to prevent user from adding their own.

2026-10-11rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: rewrite fields that borrow othersGary Guo
Fields that borrow other fields have lifetimes that are within the struct and these are not part of the struct generics. Therefore, these fields need to have their lifetime erased. A naive implementation would be to replace their lifetimes with `'static`. However, doing so is unsound for multiple reasons: * Users may directly access such field with field access syntax, and get exposed with wrong lifetime; * Auto trait implementations will cause the struct to be implementing auto traits when the type only implements the auto trait for specific lifetime. This is similar to how specialization can be unsound if specialized on lifetime. Create a `Erase` type, which has `for<'a> fn(&'a ()) -> Foo<'a>` as generic parameter. Internally, it uses a helper trait to resolve that to `Foo<'static>`. The first issue is solved by not exposing any public accessor on that type. The second issue is solved by add custom `Send` and `Sync` implementations that requires `Send` to be implemented for all lifetimes, thus closing the lifetime specialization hole. The actual implementation is a bit more convoluted because it supports erasing multiple lifetimes. This is more or less a stable polyfill of the unstable `unsafe_binder` feature, without `unsafe_binders`'s no drop glue requirement.

2026-10-07rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: parse into `StructInfo` before generatingGary Guo
Organize parsing and generation into two separate phases, with a single `StructInfo` in the middle. This allows analysis and processing to happen with a single struct and avoid having to pass different information into the token stream generation functions. A drawback of this approach is that as we consume the `Fields`, we cannot expand the original struct using `quote!(#struct_)` anymore, and the field needs to be re-constructed in `generate_struct_def` function. However, this is only a temporary drawback, as the upcoming pin-init self-referential feature will require modification of the generated struct anyway.

2026-09-25rust: pin-init: internal: use `HasInitData` to provide inference help onlyGary Guo
Currently, type inference of the initialized type is done by use the function calling syntax `PATH::__pin_data` or `PATH::__init_data` to obtain the required init data type, without needing the user to explicitly mention all generics. Switch to always use `HasInitData::__init_data` to provide that inference, which will not produce method-not-found errors as it is always available.

Attribute macros are invoked without cfg being resolved. This adds quite a bit complexity to the macro because all of the macro needs to be careful to attach necessary cfgs. This becomes especially tricky for tuple structs. Thus, it is convenient if cfgs are all resolved like derive macros. The most optimal way to handle this is via `TokenStream::expand_expr`, but that is still unstable. We can also create an internal derive macro and transform the attribute macro invocation to be derive macro, but doing requires us to serialize all extracted information in a form of helper attributes; it would also make it more difficult if we want to make changes to the struct (which the self-reference feature would need). Implement an approach where we generate two cfg-gated macro invocations with cfg resolved within the invocation. This would mean when the loop falls through, all field cfgs are resolved, so remove all handling of cfg_attrs for the rest of the macro. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

This further shifts the code generation from the initializer site to the struct definition site, which means less code is generated overall. It also makes the safety comment easier to justify, as now the projection is done by the `#[pin_data]` macro which has full visibility of pinnedness of fields. The field alignment could also be checked on the `#[pin_data]` side; however, since `init!()` macro works for other type of structs, we cannot remove the alignment check from `init!`/`pin_init!` side anyway, so I opted to still keep the alignment check in init.rs.

2026-05-18rust: pin-init: internal: project slots instead of referencesGary Guo
By projecting slots, the `pin_init!` and `init!` code path can be more unified. This also reduces the amount of macro-generated code and shifts them to the shared infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
2026-05-18rust: pin-init: internal: make `make_closure` inherent methodsGary Guo
The `InitData` and `PinData` traits do not need to exist, the inference helpers could be inherent methods instead. There is no risk for calling the wrong methods even when user defines it, as inherent methods take priority over trait methods. With this change, it unlocks the possibility of attaching additional bounds to the method per type, which is not possible for trait methods. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
2026-05-18rust: pin-init: internal: use marker on drop guard type for pinned fieldsGary Guo
Instead of projecting the created reference, simply create drop guards with different marker types and have the `let_binding()` method of guards of different marker produce different type instead. This allows more flexible lifetime as this is now controlled by the guard. This will be needed when implementing self-referential fields. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
2026-05-14rust: pin-init: internal: add `PhantomInvariant` and `PhantomInvariantLifetime`Gary Guo
Currently, the `pin_init` library has an `Invariant` type alias, and it is instantiated using `PhantomData`. Generated code from `pin_data` on the other hand cannot access the crate-local type alias, so it generates `PhantomData<fn(T) -> T>` directly. This is all very inconsistent, despite the exact same use case of ensuring invariance. Add `PhantomInvariant` and `PhantomInvariantLifetime` and switch all users that need to express the concept of invariance to use these. They're polyfills of unstable types in the same names in the Rust standard library.

2026-05-14rust: pin-init: internal: pin_data: use closure for `handle_field`Gary Guo
`handle_field` is currently a function, which precludes it from referencing things in the scope of the parent function. Given that it's only called once, inline its contents to the closure that invokes it instead, so it can directly reference `struct_name` without having to pass in as argument.

Tuples implement `FromIterator` since Rust 1.79. Remove the `collect_tuple` polyfill now the MSRV is above 1.79. To avoid over-identing the closure, I move the `Field` destructure from the closure parameter to a let binding. This keeps the diff small.

2026-05-10rust: pin-init: internal: turn `PhantomPinned` error into warningsGary Guo
The `PhantomPinned` detection is just a lint, and is emitted as an error because there is no `compile_warning!()` macro, and `proc-macro-diagnostics` is not stable. Use of `#[deprecated = ""]` attribute to approximate custom proc-macro warnings. A new line is added before message for visual clarity. An example warning with this trick looks like this: warning: use of deprecated function `_::warn`: The field `pin` of type `PhantomPinned` only has an effect if it has the `#[pin]` attribute --> test.rs:9:5 | 9 | pin: marker::PhantomPinned, | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Suggested-by: Benno Lossin <lossin@kernel.org> Link: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/pin-init/issues/51 Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260428-pin-init-sync-v1-10-07f9bd3859fb@garyguo.net Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

2026-05-10rust: pin-init: internal: add missing where clause to projection typesMohamad Alsadhan
`#[pin_data]` failed to propagate the struct's `where` clause to the generated projection struct. As a result, bounds written in a `where` clause could be dropped during expansion, causing type errors when fields depended on those bounds. Fix this by adding the missing `where` clause to the generated projection struct.

2026-01-17rust: pin-init: add `?Sized` bounds to traits in `#[pin_data]` macroBenno Lossin
The `#[pin_data]` macro uses some auxiliary traits to ensure that a user does not implement `Drop` for the annotated struct, as that is unsound and can lead to UB. However, if the struct that is annotated is `!Sized`, the current bounds do not work, because `Sized` is an implicit bound for generics. This is *not* a soundness hole of pin-init, as it currently is impossible to construct an unsized struct using pin-init.

2026-01-17rust: pin-init: add `syn` dependency and remove `proc-macro[2]` and `quote` ↵Benno Lossin
workarounds `syn` makes parsing Rust from proc-macros a lot simpler. `pin-init` has not used `syn` up until now, because the we did not support it. That changed in commit 54e3eae85562 ("Merge patch series "`syn` support""), so we can finally utilize the added ergonomics of parsing proc-macro input with `syn`. Previously we only had the `proc-macro` library available, whereas the user-space version also used `proc-macro2` and `quote`. Now both are available, so remove the workarounds. Due to these changes, clippy emits warnings about unnecessary `.to_string()` as `proc-macro2` provides an additional `PartialEq` impl on `Ident`, so the warnings are fixed.

2025-03-16rust: pin-init: internal: synchronize with user-space versionBenno Lossin
Synchronize the internal macros crate with the user-space version that uses the quote crate [1] instead of a custom `quote!` macro. The imports in the different version are achieved using `cfg` on the kernel config value. This cfg is always set in the kernel and never set in the user-space version. Since the quote crate requires the proc_macro2 crate, imports also need to be adjusted and `.into()` calls have to be inserted.
