Subject: [PATCHv2 16/17] nvme: fix Clang context analysis warning in tcp.c
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 18:45:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614131541.2017845-17-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260614131541.2017845-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
After adding Clang context annotations, compiling tcp.c reports the
following warning while context analysis is enabled:
drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c:2572:24: warning: passing pointer to variable 'list' requires holding mutex 'nvme_tcp_ctrl_mutex'
[-Wthread-safety-pointer]
2572 | if (list_empty(&ctrl->list))
| ^
The above warning is triggered because ctrl->list is guarded with mutex
nvme_tcp_ctrl_mutex but when list_empty(&ctrl->list) is invoked it
doesn't acquire nvme_tcp_ctrl_mutex.
Fix the warning by performing the list_empty(&ctrl->list) check while
holding nvme_tcp_ctrl_mutex.
