Subject: [PATCH 27/28] hazptr: handle NULL address in hazptr_detach
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:00:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919000056.3132131-27-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e9669b34-12c2-4cf2-a887-315f581f0789@paulmck-laptop>

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

When hazptr_acquire loads a NULL pointer, it sets:

- slot_item->slot.addr = NULL,
- slot_item->ctx.ctx = ctx
- ctx->slot = slot

And it returns NULL.

Then hazptr_detach is called on this ctx, it will act on the ctx as if
needed to be promoted to backup slot, even though it has a NULL addr.

Looking at what hazptr_note_context_switch() does before promoting
to backup slot, it checks for a NULL slot->addr, which is exactly
what is missing from hazptr_detach.

With this in place there would be no need to explicitly check the
hazptr_acquire() return value before calling hazptr_detach().

hazptr_release() has a early return check for NULL addr as well, so it
makes sense that detach does an early return (no-op) similarly.
