Subject: [PATCH v4 00/54] scsi: Enable context analysis for most drivers
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:25:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1790360262.git.bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
This patch series enables lock context analysis for all SCSI drivers in the
drivers/scsi/ directory except scsi_debug. The advantages are as follows:
- The compiler (only Clang) verifies whether the lock and unlock calls match
what has been declared via __must_hold(), __acquires() or __releases().
This is useful for catching locking bugs in error paths.
- Support for __guarded_by() is enabled. If a member variable is annotated
with __guarded_by(lock), the compiler will issue a warning if that member
variable is accessed without holding 'lock'.
Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.
Thanks,
Bart.
Changes compared to v3:
- Dropped the SCSI core and UFS patches (merged upstream in Linux 7.3).
- Replaced __no_context_analysis with __context_unsafe(/*reason*/) across
drivers with conditional locking (aacraid, ips, libfc, lpfc, mvsas, qedi,
qla2xxx, qla4xxx).
- Passed struct pointers directly to functions called with locks held instead
of dereferencing or using __assume_ctx_lock():
* BusLogic: Pass struct Scsi_Host * directly to multiple functions.
* libiscsi: Pass struct iscsi_session * directly to functions requiring
session locks and update callers in be2iscsi, bnx2i, cxgbi, libiscsi,
libiscsi_tcp, qedi, qla4xxx, and iser.
* bnx2fc: Pass tgt directly to several functions.
* csiostor: Pass struct csio_hw * directly to cleanup and abort functions.
* fnic: Pass struct fnic_iport_s * and struct fnic * directly.
* ipr: Pass struct Scsi_Host * directly to error handling functions.
* qla1280: Pass struct Scsi_Host * directly to wait/error functions.
* NCR5380: Pass struct NCR5380_hostdata * directly to NCR5380_select()
and NCR5380_information_transfer().
* fcoe: Pass struct fcoe_ctlr * directly to functions called with locks
held.
- scsi: ipr: Added patch to simplify ipr_eh_abort() by deriving the host
pointer once (detected by Sashiko).
- scsi: smartpqi: Fixed missing ampersands (&ctrl_info->...), documented
locking requirements with __acquires(), __releases(), and __cond_releases(),
and suppressed complaints with __acquire() where mutex usage is irregular.
- scsi: cxgbi: Added __assume_ctx_lock(&conn->session->back_lock) with a
TODO comment documenting missing locking around iscsi_itt_to_ctask().
- scsi: libfc: Added __must_hold annotations for discovery and FCP functions.
- scsi: ibmvscsi_tgt: Added __must_hold(&vscsi->intr_lock) annotations.
- scsi: pm8001: Added Acked-by from Jack Wang.
- Consolidated preparation and enabling patches for aic7xxx, be2iscsi, and
bnx2i.
- Moved the scsi_debug changes into a separate patch series.
- Dropped megaraid / megaraid_sas patches from this series. These will be
reposted later.
- Added patch "scsi: drivers: Enable lock context analysis" as the final patch
to enable CONTEXT_ANALYSIS := y in drivers/scsi/Makefile (excluding
scsi_debug).
Changes compared to v2:
- Added patch "scsi: core: Pass the SCSI host pointer directly".
- Corrected several annotations that had missing or extra ampersands (&).
- Reduced the number of __assume_ctx_lock() statements.
Changes compared to v1:
- Split patch "Enable lock context analysis" into one patch per driver.
