Subject: [PATCH] PCI/P2PDMA: Annotate RCU dereference
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2023 10:29:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230209172953.4597-1-logang@deltatee.com> (raw)
A dereference of the __rcu pointer was noticed by sparse:
drivers/pci/p2pdma.c:199:44: sparse: sparse: dereference of noderef expression
The __rcu pointer should be dereferenced using
rcu_dereference_protected() instead of accessed directly. Its safe
to use rcu_derference_protected() seeing a reference is held on
the pgmap's percpu reference counter and thus it cannot disappear.
