Subject: [PATCH v4 11/20] nvme: add context annotations for nvme_subsystem::lock
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:24:12 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713115444.465704-12-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260713115444.465704-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
Several helpers access or traverse data structures protected by
nvme_subsystem::lock and therefore require callers to hold the lock.
Annotate nvme_mpath_unfreeze(), nvme_mpath_wait_freeze(),
nvme_mpath_start_freeze(), nvme_find_ns_head(), nvme_alloc_ns_head()
and nvme_subsys_check_duplicate_ids() with __must_hold(&subsys->lock)
so that Clang's lock context analysis can validate the locking
requirements at compile time.
Also annotate nvme_subsystem::nsheads and
nvme_ns_head::delayed_removal_secs with __guarded_by(&subsys->lock),
as both are protected by the subsystem lock.
Annotate nvme_init_subsystem() with __context_unsafe(), as it
initializes these lock-protected members before the object is published,
suppressing a false positive from Clang's context analysis.
