[PATCH v12 2/5] xenbus/backend: Protect xenbus callback with lock

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 05:43:35 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

'reclaim_memory' callback can race with a driver code as this callback
will be called from any memory pressure detected context. To deal with
the case, this commit adds a spinlock in the 'xenbus_device'. Whenever
'reclaim_memory' callback is called, the lock of the device which passed
to the callback as its argument is locked. Thus, drivers registering
their 'reclaim_memory' callback should protect the data that might race
with the callback with the lock by themselves.
