Subject: [PATCH v2 05/20] KVM: Remove unnecessary IRQ disabling from GPC lock in pfncache.c
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 09:50:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529165114.748639-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529165114.748639-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>
Now that all hardirq/atomic GPC users (xen_timer_callback,
kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast) use read_trylock() instead of read_lock(), no
hardirq path ever holds the GPC rwlock. There is therefore no risk of
deadlock between the write side and a hardirq reader, and no need to
disable interrupts when taking the lock.
Convert all read_lock_irq()/write_lock_irq() and their unlock
counterparts to plain read_lock()/write_lock() in pfncache.c.
