[PATCH 3/3] rust: dma: declare cfi_encoding for dma_data_direction
From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 19:40:29 EST
bindgen generates bindings::dma_data_direction as an integer by default,
while C callback tables such as dma_buf_ops declare the parameter as
enum dma_data_direction. kCFI encodes enum types by name even with
integer normalization, so the type ids would not match when C calls into
a Rust callback taking bindings::dma_data_direction.
Generate dma_data_direction as a newtype with a cfi_encoding, as is done
for lru_status, and convert DataDirection through the newtype's
constants.
