Subject: [RFC 04/12] powerpc/pseries: Add context annotations for the DTL worker lock
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 20:03:45 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20a3dfd2d68df0c3bf2bd24d51496a4a238a8456.1790517984.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790517984.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>

dtl_worker_{enable,disable}() needs annotations since they acquire and
release locks. So this adds conditional annotation based on return value.

Let's also disable context analysis for vcpudispatch_stats_write(),
since based on received input, it can leave the lock held until a later
write of 0 unlocks it. So we need to mark it with __context_unsafe().

Otherwise we get following error on enabling CONTEXT_ANALYSIS on this
file:
  lpar.c:490:9: error: rw_semaphore 'dtl_access_lock' is not held on every path through here [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]
  lpar.c:498:2: error: releasing rw_semaphore 'dtl_access_lock' that was not held [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]
