Subject: [PATCH 1/3] s390/crypto: Rework ctr_aes_crypt() to remove conditional locking
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 13:37:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804113736.1423667-2-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804113736.1423667-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>
Clang's compiler based static context analysis does not work with locks
that are conditionally taken like in ctr_aes_crypt():
arch/s390/crypto/aes_s390.c:585:13: warning: mutex 'ctrblk_lock' is not held on every path through here
[-Wthread-safety-analysis]
585 | ctrptr = (n > AES_BLOCK_SIZE) ? ctrblk : walk.iv;
| ^
Given that code which takes locks conditionally can be considered
suboptimal rework ctr_aes_crypt() to get rid of this.
