Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 5/5] s390/sclp: Ensure no callback gets called after sclp_unregister() returns
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 06:52:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922065241.3C0221F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922064303.524293-6-egorenar@linux.ibm.com>
> There is a potential race condition between sclp_unregister()
> and sclp_dispatch_evbufs()/sclp_dispatch_state_change(). As a result,
> it is not guaranteed that the callbacks registered with sclp_register()
> will not get called one more time (and no more than one) after
> sclp_unregister() returns.
>
> The basic idea is to use a single global wait queue which is woken up
> when no SCLP WRITE_EVENT_MASK and no SCLP READ_EVENT_DATA request is
> outstanding. If both are true then it is guaranteed that no sclp_register
> callback could be in-flight. Once the struct sclp_register given to
> sclp_unregister() is removed from the list sclp_reg_list, no further
> callbacks can be scheduled for the given struct sclp_register and it only
> remains to wait until the SCLP driver becomes idle.
>
> With this change sclp_unregister() may no longer be invoked from atomic
> context or registered callbacks. But this represents no problem because
> this is no regular use case and no driver using sclp_unregister() requires
> this at the moment and likely should not require it in the future.
