Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] s390/vfio_ccw: Implement a crw lock
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:26:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824162615.4144738-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026082012-jam-hardly-84ee@gregkh>
From: Eric Farman <farman@linux.ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit 16b0798024c0e9117e395829ddbbe70981c79d9c ]
Unlike the channel_program struct, which covers synchronous I/O
submissions and asynchronous interrupts, the CRW region relies
exclusively on asynchronous events coming from hardware.
Implement a lock to manage the list of those payloads, to ensure
they are read cohesively.
Fixes: 3f02cb2fd9d2 ("vfio-ccw: Wire up the CRW irq and CRW region")
