Subject: [PATCH 07/11] fs_pin: Add missing annotation for pin_kill() declaration
Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2020 22:44:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e1f17a7b53760467defc7055ce1bd11d7e8f80cb.1581282103.git.jbi.octave@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1581282103.git.jbi.octave@gmail.com>
Sparse reports warnings within the kernel acct.c file
at acct_exit_ns(), __se_sys_acct(), acct_on()
warning: context imbalance in acct_on()
- different lock contexts for basic block
warning: context imbalance in __se_sys_acct()
- different lock contexts for basic block
warning: context imbalance in acct_exit_ns()
- wrong count at exit
The root cause is the missing annotation at pin_kill()
In fact acct_exit_ns(), __se_sys_sys_acct() and acct_on()
do actually call rcu_read_lock()
then call pin_kill() which is defined elsewhere.
A close look at pin_kill()
- called 3 times in the core kernel and 2 times elsewhere-
shows that pin_kill() does actually call rcu_read_unlock().
Adding the annotation at declaration and definition of pin_kill()
not only fixes the warnings
but also improves on the readability of the code
Add the missing annotation __release(RCU)
