[PATCH v2] rust: declare cfi_encoding for lru_status
From: Alice Ryhl
Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 04:50:04 EST
By default bindgen will convert 'enum lru_status' into a typedef for an
integer. For the most part, an integer of the same size as the enum
results in the correct ABI, but in the specific case of CFI, that is not
the case. The CFI encoding is supposed to be the same as a struct called
'lru_status' rather than the name of the underlying native integer type.
To fix this, tell bindgen to generate a newtype and set the CFI type
explicitly. Note that we need to set the CFI attribute explicitly as
bindgen is using repr(transparent), which is otherwise identical to the
inner type for ABI purposes.
This allows us to remove the page range helper C function in Binder
without risking a CFI failure when list_lru_walk calls the provided
function pointer.
The --with-attribute-custom-enum argument requires bindgen v0.71 or
greater.
My testing procedure was to add this to the android17-6.18 branch and
verify that rust_shrink_free_page is successfully called without crash,
and verify that it does in fact crash when the cfi_encoding is set to
other values. Note that I couldn't test this on android16-6.12 as that
branch uses a bindgen version that is too old.

This patch requires bumping the minimum bindgen version to v0.71 or
greater. I did not include that here.
---
Changes in v2:
- Rebase on v7.0-rc1.
- Update cfi encoding with 10 prefix.
- Add details to commit message.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260105-cfi-lru-status-v1-1-0b2401f7c5b2@xxxxxxxxxx
