Subject: [PATCH v7 5/5] s390/sclp: Ensure no callback gets called after sclp_unregister() returns
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:40:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923074006.3962077-6-egorenar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923074006.3962077-1-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.
