Subject: [PATCH v2] kvm: Fix false positive RCU usage warning
Date: Sat, 16 May 2020 13:52:27 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200516082227.22194-1-madhuparnabhowmik10@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@gmail.com>
Fix the following false positive warnings:
[ 9403.765413][T61744] =============================
[ 9403.786541][T61744] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
[ 9403.807865][T61744] 5.7.0-rc1-next-20200417 #4 Tainted: G L
[ 9403.838945][T61744] -----------------------------
[ 9403.860099][T61744] arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c:257 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
and
[ 9405.859252][T61751] =============================
[ 9405.859258][T61751] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
[ 9405.880867][T61755] -----------------------------
[ 9405.911936][T61751] 5.7.0-rc1-next-20200417 #4 Tainted: G L
[ 9405.911942][T61751] -----------------------------
[ 9405.911950][T61751] arch/x86/kvm/mmu/page_track.c:232 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
Since srcu read lock is held, these are false positive warnings.
Therefore, pass condition srcu_read_lock_held() to
list_for_each_entry_rcu().
