Subject: [PATCH v4 20/35] locking/ww_mutex: Support Clang's context analysis
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 16:09:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251120151033.3840508-21-elver@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251120151033.3840508-7-elver@google.com>
Add support for Clang's context analysis for ww_mutex.
The programming model for ww_mutex is subtly more complex than other
locking primitives when using ww_acquire_ctx. Encoding the respective
pre-conditions for ww_mutex lock/unlock based on ww_acquire_ctx state
using Clang's context analysis makes incorrect use of the API harder.
Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>

v4:
* Rename capability -> context analysis.
v3:
* __assert -> __assume rename
v2:
* New patch.
