Still RFC. Not all people for each subsystems are not included yet as
this touch quite lot of things. I would like to get feed back is this
resonable seperation and how we will land this. I have tried my best so
that it can be applied in multiple staged if needed. I have not receive
any feedback on this series and that is little bit worrying.
Introduce new ThisModule trait and THIS_MODULE impl.
So currently we have problem that we are not always filling .owner field
example for file_operations. I think we can enable const_refs_to_static
already as that is in 1.78 and is stable in 1.83. So that fits perfecly
for us. This also seems to be quite request feature but I did not found
that no one has ever suggested that we just enable this.
So basic idea is that we will have ThisModule trait which is used kernel
side. Module side we will always use THIS_MODULE. That is completly
private for modules and kernel crate cannot use it. Currently we have
THIS_MODULE, LocalModule and
module: &' static ThisModule
on init functions. As we anyway need THIS_MODULE just use that for all
of these things.
Patches 1-2 introduce THIS_MODULE and ThisModule trait.
Patches 3-12 can be applied any order after 1-2.
Patch 13 depends on patches 11-12.
Patches 14-15 are clean up patches and depends 1-13.
