Subject: [PATCH v5 17/20] dma: swiotlb: free dynamic pools from process context
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 09:58:12 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522042815.370873-18-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522042815.370873-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
swiotlb_dyn_free() is used after removing a dynamic swiotlb pool from
RCU-protected lists. It can call swiotlb_free_tlb(), which may need to
restore the encryption state of an unencrypted pool with
set_memory_encrypted() before freeing the pages.
RCU callbacks run in atomic context, but set_memory_encrypted() is not
guaranteed to be atomic-safe on all architectures. For example, page
attribute updates may allocate page tables or take sleeping locks.
Use queue_rcu_work() for dynamic pool freeing instead. This keeps the RCU
grace period before freeing a published pool, while running the actual pool
teardown from workqueue context. Use the same helper for the transient-pool
error path, since that path may also be reached from atomic DMA mapping
context.
