Subject: [PATCH 17/23] nvmet: add context annotation for nvmet_ns::device_path
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 08:58:22 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109033102.982191-42-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109033102.982191-25-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
The nvmet_ns::device_path field is protected by
nvmet_subsys::lock. Annotate it with
__guarded_by(&subsys->lock) to allow the Clang context
analyzer to validate accesses to this field.
Some request-processing paths access ns->device_path without
holding subsys->lock. This is safe because the namespace
reference held by the request prevents the ns->device_path from
being modified while I/O is in flight. However, the context
analyzer cannot express this access pattern directly.
Introduce nvmet_ns_device_path() as an inline helper
annotated with __context_unsafe() to allow these lockless
accesses without triggering context analyzer warnings.
Additionally, update __assign_req_name() to use this accessor
when copying device_path into the trace event's request name.
This is safe because the tracing function is invoked after
the namespace reference has been acquired.
