Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] s390/crypto: Rewrite AES ctr mode to be prepared for context analysis
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 15:54:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807135440.35888-4-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807135440.35888-1-freude@linux.ibm.com>

The AES ctr implementation produces a warning when used with clang and
CONTEXT_ANALYIS enabled:

arch/s390/crypto/aes_s390.c:585:13: warning: mutex 'ctrblk_lock' is not held on every path through here [-Wthread-safety-analysis]
  585 |                 ctrptr = (n > AES_BLOCK_SIZE) ? ctrblk : walk.iv;
      |                           ^
arch/s390/crypto/aes_s390.c:577:11: note: mutex acquired here
  577 |         locked = mutex_trylock(&ctrblk_lock);
      |                  ^

Rewrite and reorganize the code such that the clang compiler's needs
are fulfilled with keeping the compatibility, performance and
correctness of the crypto algorithm.
