Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] ext2: mark s_next_generation as guarded by s_next_gen_lock
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:03:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811160336.782342-2-timday@thelustrecollective.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811160336.782342-1-timday@thelustrecollective.com>
s_next_generation is only ever modified while holding s_next_gen_lock
(in ext2_new_inode()), so annotate it with __guarded_by() for Clang's
context analysis.
The only other write is the initialisation in ext2_fill_super(), which
runs before the superblock is live. No concurrent access should be
possible. Convert the spinlock initialization to use
scoped_guard(spinlock_init, ...) and place the write under the guard
to prevent a warning.
