Subject: [PATCH V2 13/17] platform/x86/intel/pmc/ssram: Refactor memory barrier for reentrant probe
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 18:48:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325014819.1283566-14-david.e.box@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325014819.1283566-1-david.e.box@linux.intel.com>
From: Xi Pardee <xi.pardee@linux.intel.com>
Previously, a single global 'device_probed' flag with memory barriers was
used to prevent callers from reading PMC info before probe completion. The
write barrier in probe ensured all data, devid and base_addr, was visible
before signaling completion, and the read barrier in callers ensured they
checked the flag before reading data.
A following commit will make probe reentrant, requiring that a different
synchronization flag be used since a single global flag cannot coordinate
multiple concurrent probes.
Switch to per-index devid publication. Each probe instance writes base_addr
first, then a write barrier ensures visibility before devid is written as
the completion signal. Callers check devid first, then use a read barrier
before reading base_addr. This per-index approach allows multiple probes
to work independently while maintaining the same memory ordering guarantees.

V2 changes:
- Expanded commit message to explain synchronization rationale
- Remove unused probe_finish label associated with the old global flag
