Subject: [PATCH v8 09/10] s390/vfio_ccw: selectively expand io_mutex
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 03:35:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728013509.1551753-10-farman@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728013509.1551753-1-farman@linux.ibm.com>
The io_mutex was defined to serialize the io_regions, but then has
also sort of been associated with the I/O themselves because of
the close relationship they share.
With the handful of races that are possible, the choices are either to:
A) expand the scope of io_mutex to close these remaining windows, or
B) reduce the scope of io_mutex to just io_region, and introduce a new
lock mechanism for the remaining I/O resources
This patch implements A, since B brings with it a lot more interactions
that would need to be tracked and kept in a correct hierarchy.
The biggest functional change is the introduction of a workqueue
element for the cp_free() called out of fsm_notoper(), which is could
be run in an interrupt context and thus cannot be acquiring mutexes.
Fixes: 4f76617378ee ("vfio-ccw: protect the I/O region")
