[PATCH v3 11/13] rust: drm: Wrap ioctl dispatch in RegistrationGuard

From: Danilo Krummrich

Date: Fri Jun 19 2026 - 21:01:07 EST


Run every ioctl handler inside a drm_dev_enter/exit critical section via
RegistrationGuard. If the device has been unplugged, the ioctl returns
ENODEV without calling the handler.

A never-called closure anchors the driver type for the compiler by tying
dev's type to the handler's first parameter, which the compiler cannot
infer through method resolution and associated-type projections alone.
