Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf/hw_breakpoint: Parse before reserving slots
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 15:51:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250903075144.3722848-2-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250903075144.3722848-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
Reserve operations update global slot accounting across CPUs and are more
expensive than local parsing. Parsing only validates and decodes attributes
for the given breakpoint.
By moving parsing ahead of reserving, invalid attributes are rejected
before touching global state. This not only fails fast but also avoids
unnecessary reserve and release cycles.
