[PATCH v3 2/2] rust: drm: gpuvm: require Send and Sync for GpuVm's shared data

From: Sami Tolvanen

Date: Mon Jun 08 2026 - 20:34:08 EST


GpuVm implements Send and Sync unconditionally, but it shares and drops
T::VmBoData and T::Object across threads: obtain() can return ARefs to
the same bo on several threads, and deferred_cleanup() drops them on
whichever thread calls it. This is unsound unless both are Send + Sync,
so bound both impls accordingly.
