Subject: [RFC 11/12] powerpc/powernv: Rework OPAL console write to remove conditional locking
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 20:03:52 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e3f2e429727bc1a7a79441ebb2276a51c08cd40.1790517984.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790517984.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>

Clang's context analysis reports:
  opal.c:454:7: error: spinlock 'opal_write_lock' is not held on every path through here [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]
  opal.c:493:3: error: releasing spinlock 'opal_write_lock' that was not held [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]

This patch rework the OPAL console write function to remove this
conditional locking to fix the reported build errors while enabling
Clang context analysis. We could have marked __context_unsafe(),
but this anyways simplifies the locking a bit.
