In Rust, it is possible to `allow` particular warnings (diagnostics,
lints) locally, making the compiler ignore instances of a given warning
within a given function, module, block, etc.
It is similar to `#pragma GCC diagnostic push` + `ignored` + `pop` in C:
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
static void f(void) {}
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
But way less verbose:
#[allow(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more
diagnostics by default (i.e. outside `W=` levels) that may have some
false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to
catch potential mistakes.
The `#[expect(...)]` attribute [1] takes this further, and makes the
compiler warn if the diagnostic was _not_ produced. For instance, the
following will ensure that, when `f()` is called somewhere, we will have
to remove the attribute:
#[expect(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
If we do not, we get a warning from the compiler:
warning: this lint expectation is unfulfilled
--> x.rs:3:10
|
3 | #[expect(dead_code)]
| ^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unfulfilled_lint_expectations)]` on by default
This means that `expect`s do not get forgotten when they are not needed.
See the next commit for more details, nuances on its usage and
documentation on the feature.
The attribute requires the `lint_reasons` [2] unstable feature, but it
is becoming stable in 1.81.0 (to be released on 2024-09-05) and it has
already been useful to clean things up in this patch series, finding
cases where the `allow`s should not have been there.
Thus, enable `lint_reasons` and convert some of our `allow`s to `expect`s
where possible.
This feature was also an example of the ongoing collaboration between
Rust and the kernel -- we tested it in the kernel early on and found an
issue that was quickly resolved [3].

Fixes multiple trivial typos in documentation and comments of the
kernel crate.
allocator:
- Fix a trivial list item alignment issue in the last SAFETY comment of
`krealloc_aligned`.
init:
- Replace 'type' with 'trait' in the doc comments of the `PinInit` and
`Init` traits.
- Add colons before starting lists.
- Add spaces between the type and equal sign to respect the code
formatting rules in example code.
- End a sentence with a full stop instead of a colon.
ioctl:
- Replace 'an' with 'a' where appropriate.
str:
- Replace 'Return' with 'Returns' in the doc comment of `bytes_written`
as the text describes what the function does.
sync/lock:
- Fix a trivial list item alignment issue in the Safety section of the
`Backend` trait's description.
sync/lock/spinlock:
- The code in this module operates on spinlocks, not mutexes. Thus,
replace 'mutex' with 'spinlock' in the SAFETY comment of `unlock`.
workqueue:
- Replace "wont" with "won't" in the doc comment of `__enqueue`.

Some of our links use relative paths in order to point to files in the
source tree, e.g.:
//! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](../../../../include/linux/printk.h)
/// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h
These are problematic because they are hard to maintain and do not support
`O=` builds.
Instead, provide support for `srctree`-relative links, e.g.:
//! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](srctree/include/linux/printk.h)
/// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h
The links are fixed after `rustdoc` generation to be based on the absolute
path to the source tree.
Essentially, this is the automatic version of Tomonori's fix [1],
suggested by Gary [2].

Add simple 1:1 wrappers of the C ioctl number manipulation functions.
Since these are macros we cannot bindgen them directly, and since they
should be usable in const context we cannot use helper wrappers, so
we'll have to reimplement them in Rust. Thankfully, the C headers do
declare defines for the relevant bitfield positions, so we don't need
to duplicate that.
