Subject: [PATCHv2 1/3] block: protect debugfs attrs using elevator_lock instead of sysfs_lock
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2025 17:21:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250313115235.3707600-2-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250313115235.3707600-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
Currently, the block debugfs attributes (tags, tags_bitmap, sched_tags,
and sched_tags_bitmap) are protected using q->sysfs_lock. However, these
attributes are updated in multiple scenarios:
- During driver probe method
- During an elevator switch/update
- During an nr_hw_queues update
- When writing to the sysfs attribute nr_requests
All these update paths (except driver probe method which anyways doesn't
not require any protection) are already protected using q->elevator_lock.
So to ensure consistency and proper synchronization, replace q->sysfs_
lock with q->elevator_lock for protecting these debugfs attributes.
