Subject: [RFC 4/6] powerpc/mm/book3s64: Annotate the subpage-protection PTE lock
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 16:14:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fb81802909fc0e5e17506f900239f97616d2dd2c.1790590014.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790590014.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>
Clang's context analysis reports:
subpage_prot.c:83:2: error: releasing spinlock 'ptl' that was not held [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-analysis]
pte_offset_map_lock() holds ptl when it returns a PTE and
pte_unmap_unlock() drops it. However since the lock is taken inside the
helper, which is not annotated, so the unlock in hpte_flush_range()
looks unheld.
This patch fixes it in hpte_flush_range() by adding the needed
annotation here. IMO, should ideally be added to pte_offset_map_lock(),
once that happens (since it might need larger enablement), we can remove
it from here.
