Subject: [PATCH v10 12/17] x86/resctrl: Prepare to handle nested mount requests
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:27:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729172752.11561-13-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729172752.11561-1-tony.luck@intel.com>

There is no upper level serialization of mount(2) system calls.

mount/unmount operations can happen in parallel with CPU hotplug events
that need to add/remove files and directories when domains are added or
removed.

Use cpus_read_lock() plus mutex_lock(&domain_list_lock) to protect
architecture code from races.
