[PATCH v2 0/6] workqueue: OwnedQueue, ScopedQueue and ScopedWork
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 12:53:14 EST
This series extends the Rust workqueue bindings with the ability to create
custom workqueues, enqueue non-'static work items on scoped queues, and
introduces ScopedWork, a work item type that cancels synchronously on drop,
allowing drivers to use workqueues with lifetime-bound data.
This picks up and extends prior work from Alice [1] and Onur [2]; changes I
subsequently applied, if any, are documented in the corresponding patch.
I also added a patch to replace the deprecated system_wq with
system_{percpu,dfl}_wq, which I originally sent with the WaitQueue series [3],
as it makes a bit more sense in this context.

Changes in v2:
- Merge scoped_work.rs and scoped_queue.rs into scoped.rs
- Introduce ScopedWorkRef<T> and wrap it in Opaque inside ScopedWork to avoid
&mut aliasing in drop
- Pass &ScopedWorkRef<Self> to ScopedWorkItem::run to enable self-re-enqueue
- Add Deref<Target = Queue> for ScopedQueue; remove duplicate enqueue_scoped()
- Add Send + Sync for OwnedQueue
- Fix stale workqueue::system() references in docs
- Drop Work::cancel_work_sync()
- Make sysfs() available on ordered workqueues
- Add #[inline] annotations throughout
