Subject: dovetail: lock guards break raw->hard spinlock alternatives
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2023 16:06:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b58c34bc-57ff-4651-9976-8b25559b3f47@siemens.com> (raw)

Hi Philippe,

as can be seen in our CI [1], there is a nasty problem coming with a
broader usage of the new cleanup infrastructure for spinlocks.
Statements like

guard(raw_spinlock_irqsave)(&some_lock);

will break because guard will select the raw_spinlock_irqsave version of
DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1, even if we provided there a hard_spinlock one a
well and some_lock is of hard_spinlock_t. I don't see a non-intrusive
way towards such guard usage except for also converting all those calls to

guard(hard_spinlock_irqsave)(&some_lock);

The problem is that guard() is not processing that appended
"(&some_lock)" argument directly, thus cannot be extended to take the
type alternatives of the lock into account.
