Subject: [PATCHv2 05/17] nvme: add Clang context annotations for nvme_ns_head::current_path
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 18:45:20 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614131541.2017845-6-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260614131541.2017845-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
Annotate nvme_ns_head::current_path[] with __rcu_guarded so that
Clang's context analysis can validate accesses to the SRCU/RCU
protected pointer.
The nvme_mpath_clear_current_path() helper only compares the
current_path[] pointer value using rcu_access_pointer() and does not
dereference the referenced namespace. Annotate this access with
context_unsafe() to suppress the corresponding context analysis
warning.
