[PATCH v3 0/3] rust: workqueue: add safe cancellation and status methods

From: Aakash Bollineni via B4 Relay

Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 07:10:19 EST


This is the third version of the patch series for modernizing the Linux
kernel Rust workqueue infrastructure.

Changes since v2:
- Fixed a critical initialization bug in the DelayedWork C-helper where
the timer function was not correctly registered, causing KUnit crashes.
- Consolidated Arc refcount inspection into a shared `arc_count` helper
in `rust/kernel/workqueue.rs` (gated by CONFIG_KUNIT).
- Updated internal KUnit tests and sample module to use the shared helper.
- Split the sample test's `TestItem` into `TestWorkItem` and
`TestDelayedWorkItem` for clearer trait dispatch and safety.
- Integrated the sample stress test into the kernel build system via
the SAMPLES_RUST Kconfig.
- Improved documentation and safety comments based on feedback from
Onur and Miguel Ojeda.
