Subject: [PATCHv2 09/17] nvme: add Clang context annotations for nvme_subsystems_lock
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 18:45:24 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614131541.2017845-10-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260614131541.2017845-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
The global nvme_subsystems list, nvme_subsystem::entry,
nvme_subsystem::ctrls, and nvme_ctrl::subsys_entry are protected by
nvme_subsystems_lock. Annotate these objects with
__guarded_by(&nvme_subsystems_lock) so that Clang's context analysis
can validate accesses to them.
__nvme_find_get_subsystem() and nvme_validate_cntlid() traverse the
global subsystem list and subsystem controller list and therefore
require callers to hold nvme_subsystems_lock. Annotate both helpers
with __must_hold(&nvme_subsystems_lock).
The initialization of subsys->ctrls in nvme_init_subsystem() occurs
before the subsystem is published and therefore does not require
protection by nvme_subsystems_lock. Annotate the initialization with
context_unsafe() to suppress the corresponding context analysis
warning.
