Subject: [PATCH v2 07/10] s390/nospec-branch: Serialize text patching with text_mutex
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:30:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027143030.3154657-8-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027143030.3154657-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>
Acquire text_mutex inside __nospec_revert() around the patching loop.
Serialization is not required for __nospec_revert(), however this is
part of larger series where at the end s390_kernel_write() requires
that callers hold text_mutex.
